How it's used
Focuses on the abundance or substantial nature of something, particularly when referring to rewards, profits, or compensation. While it can describe physical quantities, it is most frequently encountered in professional or financial contexts to emphasize that a return or offer is well above average.
Examples
His salary is very generous.
Have you received a generous bonus this year yet?

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe physical objects like food or furniture, as it sounds unnatural; use 多 or 豐富 instead for those contexts.
