How it's used
Describes physical spaces that feel open and unrestricted, often implying a sense of comfort or ease. While it can be used for abstract concepts like vision or mind, it is most frequently applied to architecture, landscapes, or large rooms. It carries a slightly more formal or descriptive tone compared to everyday adjectives like 大.
Examples
This venue is very spacious, it won't feel crowded even with hundreds of people sitting.
Do you think this park is spacious enough?

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe people or objects that are physically wide in terms of girth, as it specifically refers to the openness of a space or area. For physical width, use 闊 instead.
