    I guess small warm seas are unimportant then?

      "Tenger" is rather "sea" I guess, "ocean" is "óceán", isn't it?

        Yes. but sometimes we translate big sea to 'óceán".

            How can one tell that this is talking about specific seas (THE big, cold seas...) as opposed to a generalisation (Big, cold seas...), since they would both start with "A nagy, hideg tengerek..."?

            With or without the, both of them are accepted as translation.

              While using oceans as the translatian in this exercise, Duolingo marks it as wrong, stating the translation should be seas. However, looking up the meaning of tengerek in the exercise itself shows both translations.
