földrésze

Földrésze is a Hungarian word formed as the possessive form of földrész, and it is used in contexts referring to the continent of a particular landmass or to describe the continent belonging to something. In geography, földrész generally denotes a large, continuous landmass on a planet’s surface, commonly translated as continent. The term emphasizes the idea of a distinct, sizable portion of the Earth’s crust as a geographic unit.

In everyday language, földrész and földrésze are used interchangeably with kontinent in many contexts. Földrész tends to emphasize the physical landmass aspect, while kontinent is often the more formal or commonly taught term in education. The possessive form földrésze appears in phrases that indicate possession or attribution, such as “a földrészé” or similar constructions, depending on sentence structure. The concept also appears in historical or descriptive texts when referring to a specific continent as part of a larger discussion.

There is some variation in how continents are counted and named. The widely recognized seven continents are Afrika, Antarktisz, Észak-Amerika, Dél-Amerika, Európa, Ázsia and Óceánia (often referred to as Australia). Some classifications combine Europe and Asia into Eurasia, or use alternative regional names. Regardless of naming debates, földrész remains the standard Hungarian term for the large landmasses traditionally regarded as continents.
