The world is comprised of seven continents, known in Spanish as Norteamérica (or América del Norte), Sudamérica (or América del Sur), Europa, Asia, África, Australia, and Antártida.
let's explore the names of the continents in Spanish along with some examples:
- North America - América del Norte: Example: Estados Unidos (United States), Canadá (Canada), México (Mexico).
- South America - América del Sur: Example: Brasil (Brazil), Argentina (Argentina), Chile (Chile).
- Europe - Europa: Example: España (Spain), Francia (France), Alemania (Germany).
- Africa - África: Example: Marruecos (Morocco), Egipto (Egypt), Nigeria (Nigeria).
- Asia - Asia: Example: China (China), India (India), Japón (Japan).
- Australia - Oceanía: Example: Australia (Australia), Nueva Zelanda (New Zealand), Papúa Nueva Guinea (Papua New Guinea).
- Antarctica - Antártida: Example: La Antártida no tiene países permanentes, solo estaciones de investigación.
It's worth noting that the names of continents in Spanish are feminine, so they are preceded by the feminine article "la." Additionally, country names are also feminine, and when they start with a vowel, the masculine article "el" is used to avoid a hiatus (e.g., el Canadá, el Ecuador).
Keep in mind that these examples represent only a few countries in each continent, and there are many more countries in each region.
