The word 'mainland' is used to describe the larger landmass of a country or continent that is connected to other land masses. For example, when we talk about the United States, we might refer to the 'mainland' as the part of the country that is connected to Canada and Mexico, as opposed to Alaska or Hawaii. The word can also be used to describe the largest and most important area of a region or country that is not an island. It is a helpful word to use when distinguishing between an island and a larger piece of land that is connected to other areas.
