When all territories within a country are physically connected, it is referred to as a contiguous country. This means that there are no separated or disjointed parts of the country's landmass, allowing for ease of movement and administration throughout the entire territory. Examples of contiguous countries include the United States and China.
The US is located on the North American continent which is connected to the South American continent.
Contiguous means physically in contact. So for example, of the 50 American states, 48 are contiguous.
49 US states are in North America. Hawaii is the only American state to not be a part of North America. Physically, it is part of Oceania.
The two states of America that are separate from the contiguous United States are Alaska and Hawaii. Alaska is located in the far northwest, bordered by Canada and the Arctic Ocean, while Hawaii is an archipelago in the central Pacific Ocean. Both states are not physically connected to the other 48 states.

Suriname's relative location is southeast of the continental United States. Both Suriname and the United States are in the northern and western hemispheres.

Hawaii is the only US state that is not on the North American continent, therefore it is the only one that is not part of the "continental United States". To exclude Alaska also, you would use the phrase "contiguous United States", which means those that are connected. You may be technically correct, but the phrase "continental United States" in common usage refers to the 48 connected states. These are sometimes called the "lower 48 states" but I don't know why.
