direction between south and east
The direction that is halfway between south and east, or the part of a place that is in that direction.
Kullanım kalıbı:
in the southeast (of [a place])
Sık yapılan hata:
Learners sometimes write "south east" as two words. In modern English, the direction is written as one word: "southeast". Use a capital letter only when it is part of a proper name or a named region, for example, "the Southeast" of the U.S.

the southeast [part/area/corner] of [a place]
Sık yapılan hata:
Learners sometimes use "south" + "east" instead of the adjective "southeast" (e.g., saying "the south east part" instead of "the southeast part"). Use "southeast" as one word when it directly describes a noun ("southeast corner").

toward the southeast direction
Going or pointing toward the southeast.
Kullanım kalıbı:
to move [southeast] from [a place]
Sık yapılan hata:
Learners sometimes use "to the southeast" when "southeast" alone as an adverb would be more natural (e.g., "The road goes southeast," not "The road goes to the southeast" in many contexts). Both can be correct, but the shorter adverb form is common with verbs of movement like "go" and "head."
Eş anlamlılar
southeasterly (A bit more formal or technical, often used in weather reports (e.g., "moving southeasterly").)
Zıt anlamlılar
northwest (As an adverb (head northwest), it indicates movement in the opposite direction.)

southeastern region of a country
The southeast part of a country or big area, spoken about as one region, usually written as "the Southeast".
Kullanım kalıbı:
the Southeast of [a country]
Sık yapılan hata:
Learners sometimes forget to capitalize "Southeast" when it refers to a well-known region (for example, "the Southeast" of the U.S.) and not just a general direction. Use "the southeast" (lowercase) for a general part of a place, but "the Southeast" (capitalized) for a recognized region.
Eş anlamlılar
the southeastern region (More formal and explicit; makes it clear that a sub‑region of a country or area is meant.)
