egésznapos

egésznapos is a Hungarian adjective that translates to "all-day" or "full-day" in English. It is used to describe activities, events, or states that last for the entire duration of a day. For example, one might say "egésznapos program" for an all-day program or "egésznapos munka" for a full-day job.

The term is a compound word formed from "egész" meaning "whole" or "entire" and "nap" meaning "day." The suffix "-s" is a common adjectival suffix in Hungarian. Therefore, the literal breakdown of the word is "whole-day."

The usage of egésznapos is quite versatile. It can refer to a continuous period of time or an event that occupies the whole day. For instance, a school might offer an "egésznapos oktatás" which is an all-day educational program, often implying extended hours beyond the typical school day. Similarly, a festival or a conference could be described as "egésznapos" if it spans from morning to evening.

In a more figurative sense, it can also imply a prolonged or continuous state. For example, "egésznapos fáradtság" would mean an all-day tiredness. The context in which egésznapos is used clearly defines whether it refers to a scheduled duration or a continuous feeling. It is a common and practical adjective in the Hungarian language for describing something that takes up an entire day.
