századév

Századév, also spelled as Századév, is a Hungarian term that translates to "century" in English. It is commonly used in Hungarian language and culture to refer to a period of one hundred years. The term is often used in historical contexts to denote significant events, movements, or changes that span a century. For example, the Hungarian Revolution of 1848-1849 is often referred to as the "Hungarian Century" (Magyar Századév) due to its profound impact on Hungarian history. The term can also be used in a more general sense to describe a long period of time, often associated with cultural, political, or social changes. In contemporary usage, "századév" may refer to the 20th century, which was a period of significant global change and upheaval. The term is an important part of Hungarian linguistic and cultural heritage, reflecting the country's rich history and its place in European and world history.
