Szélesség

Szélesség is the Hungarian word for width. It refers to the measurement of something from side to side. This can be applied to a variety of contexts, including physical objects, spaces, and abstract concepts. For instance, the szélesség of a table would be its measurement across its longest dimension from one edge to the other. In architecture, the szélesség of a room describes its dimension perpendicular to its length.

The concept of szélesség is fundamental in geometry and physics. It is often used in conjunction with length (hosszúság) and height (magasság) to define the dimensions of an object or space in three-dimensional Cartesian coordinates. In practical applications, understanding szélesség is crucial for tasks such as measuring, designing, and fitting objects. For example, when purchasing furniture, one must consider its szélesség to ensure it will fit through doorways and within the intended space.

In a more abstract sense, szélesség can also refer to the range or scope of something. For instance, the "szélesség of a debate" might indicate how many different viewpoints or topics are being considered. Similarly, the "szélesség of a spectrum" refers to the extent or range of possibilities within that spectrum. While the primary meaning relates to physical measurement, the metaphorical use of szélesség conveys a sense of breadth or extent.
