Word origin

大规模 (dàguīmó, "large-scale") combines 大 (dà, "big") with 规模 (guīmó, "scale"), so it presents an activity as large in overall scope rather than merely important.

Usage tips

  • It describes scope rather than importance, so a large-scale project can still be unsuccessful, ordinary, or unimportant.
