How it's used
Describes physical spaces that feel expansive or unobstructed, often implying a sense of freedom or grand scale. While it functions as a formal adjective, it is perfectly acceptable in daily speech when emphasizing the vastness of an area. It is more commonly used for outdoor environments like roads, plazas, or landscapes rather than small indoor rooms.
Examples
This road is very wide, it feels comfortable to walk on.
Do you think this park is wide and open enough?

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe small objects or narrow items, as it specifically conveys a sense of large, open breadth. For everyday indoor spaces or furniture, native speakers often prefer using 闊 or 大 instead.
