English term or phrase: stanza

Definition from Infoplease:
Two or more lines of poetry that together form one of the divisions of a poem. The stanzas of a poem are usually of the same length and follow the same pattern of meter and rhyme.

Example sentence(s):

Stanzas provide structure and format within a poem. In many ways they are the equivalent of a paragraph in a prose work. The use of stanzas can make a poem more visually appealing, and give the poem a means of division. Even poems without rhyme or meter will gain structure from the use of stanzas. PoeWar
A sestina is usually an unrhymed poem consisting of six stanzas made up of six lines each. The sestina employs word repetition rather than rhyme. The last word of each line in the first stanza is repeated in a different order in the following five stanzas. Poets’ Graves
The type of stanza in a poem may be determined by counting the number of lines in the stanza. In English, for example, the most common type of stanza is the quatrain, or four line stanza. everything2

versszak

Definition from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanza:
A stanza consists of a group of lines(usually 4,but that's not obbligatory), set off by a space, that usually has a set pattern of meter and rhyme.

Rhythm: aaabab.

In traditional English-language poems, stanzas can be identified and grouped together because they have the same rhyme scheme or they consist of a fixed number of lines (as in distich/couplet, tercet, quatrain, cinquain/quintain, sestet). In many modern poems, stanzas may be arbitrarily presented on the printed page because of publishing conventions that employ such features as white space or punctuation.

Another definition from Merriam Webster:

In the fourth stanza, the speaker begins musing about the man's loved ones, how they were "weeping far away" and how they would be watching for his return. - http://poetryandpoetsinrags.blogspot.com

Versszak helyett el tudom képzelni megoldásként a strófát is.

Katalin Horváth McClure: You supposed to provide all parts of the answer in Hungarian. Punctuation is an important aspect of writing, especially that it is supposed to be for a glossary.

stanza

Definition from Szuromi Lajos: Verstan az iskolában:
A stanza: Olasz eredetű nyolc soros strófa. Hatodfeles (és ötös) jambusi sorokból áll, rímes. Hagyományos rímképletében három azonos keresztrím és egy önálló párrím található, betűvel: abababcc. Változhat azonban a szótagszám és a rímképlet is.

Example sentence(s):

Stanzának tekintünk minden nyolcsoros, időmértékes metrumot alkalmazó strófát (s az ezekből álló verset), rímes-rímtelen alakzatban egyaránt (rímtelen mindössze kettő lelhető: Az Arcas, Emléksorok Klobusiczky Matildhoz - 8., 138.). - Szuromi Lajos: KÖLCSEY VERSELÉSE
A két szótag mélységben való tájékozódás bebizonyítja, hogy csupán a laza asszonánc alapján szabályos a stanza-rímelés, a tiszta rím-asszonánc vizsgálata alapján felismerjük a változatos rímelést, amely minden strófának sajátos rímrendet kölcsönöz. - VERSTANI ALAPISMERETEK 4.: A rím
A rövidke stanza mögött váratlanul sötét, nagy dimenzió nyílik meg, az örök folyosóé, ahol a halállal is szembe kell szállnunk, a lehetetlennel, a reménytelennel. - Nemes Nagy Ágnes: A magasság vágya

Notes to answerer

Hi Eileen, thanks so much for your help. But don't they mean a substance that has already undergone nitrosation and not one that has the potential to do so? or am I reading it wrongly?

Andrea Nagy: Az általad idézett definíció, első példamondat és a Verstani alapismeretek oldal alapján a stanza a magyarban nyolc soros, időmértékes. Az angolra ez nem igaz, a stanza akárhány sorból állhat (lásd pl. a definíciót fent), időmérték és rím sem kell hozzá.

18 hrs

-> Igen, így van. Az a probléma, hogy angolul a stanza a verse szinonímájaként is használatos, magyarul viszont specifikus. Sajnos nem lehet a kérdezőhöz kérdést intézni, ennek tisztázására.

Gizella Katalin Abrudan: Your discussion board note is excellent. I agree completely :-)
