kontinentaalsele

Kontinentaalsele is an Estonian adjective meaning "continental." It is used to describe things related to a continent, especially Europe. This can include geographical features, climates, or cultural aspects. For example, a "kontinentaalne kliima" refers to a continental climate characterized by large seasonal temperature variations. Similarly, "kontinentaalsed alad" would refer to continental landmasses. The term often implies a distinction from maritime or oceanic influences. When used in a cultural context, it might suggest traditions or influences that are widespread across a continent rather than specific to a coastal region. The adjective is derived from the word "kontinent," meaning continent.
