How it's used

Describes spaces that are well lit by natural light or strong artificial lighting. When applied to eyes, it implies a lively, intelligent, or healthy sparkle rather than just physical size. It is a more formal or literary adjective compared to the everyday spoken term 夠光.

Common mistake

Avoid using this to describe a person's personality or a situation, as it is strictly reserved for physical light or the appearance of eyes. For general brightness in a non-physical sense, use terms like 開朗 for personality.
