tartományról

Tartomány is a Hungarian noun with several closely related meanings. In everyday geography, it denotes a region or territory—a broad area defined by natural features, cultural identity, or administrative organization. The term can refer to a historical or contemporary region, and in certain contexts it is used to describe a large territorial unit within a state or empire. In modern Hungarian, tartomány is more often found in historical or descriptive writing than as an official administrative unit; today Hungary primarily uses megye (county) and városrész to describe subdivisions. The word is also used in translations to refer to similar concepts in other countries, such as provinces or territories.

In science and mathematics, tartomány has specialized uses. It denotes a set associated with a function or relation. Most commonly, it appears in phrases such as értelmezési tartomány, the domain of a function. It can also indicate the range of possible values in a broader sense, though precise terminology for the range is often given by terms like értékkészlet or tartományi értékek depending on the context.

Beyond formal definitions, tartomány may be used metaphorically to describe the scope of study, activity, or influence. For example, one might speak of the tartomány of a program, a project’s scope, or the political tartomány of a government, depending on context.
