How it's used
Use this adjective primarily for formal or institutional contexts like businesses, events, or facilities. It carries a sense of professional scale and is rarely applied to individual objects or people. When describing something physically big in size, Cantonese speakers prefer to use 大 or 巨大 instead.
Examples
This is a large-scale supermarket, you can buy everything here.
Do you know where there is a large shopping mall to walk around?

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe people or small personal items, as it sounds unnatural and overly clinical. It is strictly for describing the scope or scale of an organization or project.
