ÉszakAmerikai

ÉszakAmerikai is a Hungarian term used as an adjective or demonym to refer to North America or to people and cultures associated with that region. In standard Hungarian, the common form is Észak-amerikai, and it can function as both an adjective (Észak-amerikai kultúra) and a noun (egy Észak-amerikai).

The term derives from Észak (north) and Amerika (America), combined with the adjectival suffix -i. The hyphenated spelling Észak-amerikai is the normative form in contemporary Hungarian.

Indigenous languages are spoken by various communities. The term Észak-amerikai can describe people from this region (Észak-amerikaiak) or things of North American origin, such as Észak-amerikai cuisine or literature.

Orthography and examples: In Hungarian, compound adjectives like Észak-amerikai are hyphenated and lowercase after the hyphen; the capitalized run ÉszakAmerikai is nonstandard in ordinary text. See also: North America.
