geography

noun heh-oh-grah-FEE-ah Rare

Usage Note

Geografía covers both the academic discipline and the physical landscape itself: la geografía del país can mean the country's terrain as much as the study of it. The adjective is geográfico (mapa geográfico = geographic map). In informal speech, Spaniards occasionally use it to refer to a broad territory: recorrer la geografía española (to travel across Spain).

Examples

"La geografía de Chile es muy variada."

Natural Translation
