How it's used
Used primarily in formal or news contexts to describe events, operations, or changes that involve significant resources, manpower, or geographical reach. While it functions as an adjective, it is almost always paired with a noun to specify the scope of the action. It carries a sense of gravity or seriousness that makes it sound slightly stiff in casual, everyday conversation.
Examples
They organized a large-scale celebration event.
Is this company carrying out large-scale layoffs?
