Was ist der unterschied zwischen big und large

Both big and large are adjectives that mainly refer to the size of an object. They both mean more than average size, amount, or extent. To many, these two adjectives may mean the same. But there is a distinct difference between big and large. Big can refer to the physical size as well as seriousness or importance. But large only refers to the physical size. This is the main difference between big and large.

Big – Meaning and Usage

Big is a common adjective referring to the size or extent of a thing. It is usually used to describe a thing that is over the average size. It is the opposite of small. For example,

He built a big house.

She has big brown eyes.

Big can also indicate importance or seriousness. For example,

It’s not a big decision.

I made a big mistake.

In informal situations, big can also mean elder or powerful.

He is a big shot.

This is my big brother.

So, it’s clear that big doesn’t only refer to the size or amount, but it also refers importance, seriousness, power, and age. It’s also important to know that the adjective big is considered to be an informal word although it is one of the most common words in English; it should be avoided in formal writing.

He thinks he is a big shot.

Large – Meaning and Usage

The adjective large indicates the size of an object. It refers to a considerable or relatively great size, extent, or capacity. Large is considered to be more formal than big, and it is also less commonly used than big.

Unlike big, large mainly refers to the size of things. For example,

He bought a house with a large garden.

The show attracted a large crowd.

This dress doesn’t come in large sizes.

Her large front teeth made her unattractive.

China is a large producer of rice.

Large is also used with many expressions of quantity. Consider, for example, phrases like a large number of, a large amount of, large scale, a large part, etc.

Der Unterschied zwischen "large", "high", "tall" und "big" besteht darin, wie sie verwendet werden und welche Eigenschaft von einem Objekt oder einer Person sie beschreiben.

"Large" wird verwendet, um die Größe oder den Umfang von etwas zu beschreiben, z.B. "That suitcase is too large to fit in the overhead compartment".

"High" wird verwendet, um die Höhe oder die Höhe eines Objekts oder einer Person zu beschreiben, z.B. "The building is 100 meters high".

"Tall" wird verwendet, um die Größe oder die Höhe von Personen oder Dingen zu beschreiben, die aufrecht stehen, z.B. "He is tall for his age".

"Big" wird verwendet, um die Größe oder den Umfang von etwas zu beschreiben, z.B. "That is a big tree".

Im Allgemeinen kann "groß" verwendet werden, um jede dieser Eigenschaften zu beschreiben, während die anderen Wörter spezifischere Bedeutungen haben. Es ist wichtig zu beachten, dass die Bedeutungen dieser Wörter je nach Kontext variieren können und es ist wichtig, den Kontext zu berücksichtigen, in dem sie verwendet werden.

Big bedeutet nämlich nicht nur groß im Sinne von hochgewachsen, sondern auch kräftig bzw. voluminös (fett).

Kati Witt hat in diesem Zusammenhang Minuspunkte gesammelt, als sie eine Eiskunstläuferin, beim Kommentieren eines Wettbewerbes, als big bezeichnete.

Wenn man auf die hochgewachsene Statur eines Menschen anspielt, sollte man im Englischen das Adjektiv tall verwenden.

Interessant in diesem Zusammenhang ist die Tatsache, dass ein "tall boy", im Englischen kein großer Junge ist, sondern eine Bierdose 0,5 l.

Ist der Englische Text Grammatisch gesehen richtig?

Hi Leute, habe eine Erörterung über soziale netzwerke geschrieben aber auf englisch. doch mein englisch is naja und ichf reue mich über jeden der mir eine konstruktive kritik gibt. Betse kritik wird beste antwort,

Discussion

In our century social networking sites are very popular. Over 500 Million people world wide have Facebook but where are the difference between privacy in the real life and privacy in the online life? Now with this discussion I try to answer this question.

I am sure there are diffence between the real life and the online life maybe on Facebook. By the online life they save the informations about us and with the register we allow them to sell this informations to third people and to do other thinks. Furthermore I am sure they do that to earn money.This is a negative aspect from the social networiking sites. When we are in the real life nobody have the right to save informations about us or to sell this informations about us to other foreign people. An other point and a other difference between the two life styles is that in the real life we must ask people to get informations about them. In the online life we can search them und so we can get informations. This argument can pro and contra because so we people get information about other without asking and the negative aspect are that people with bad ideas can get information about this people.

My conclusion is that there are many difference between the real life and the online life on social networking sites but not every difference must be bad. When we use it on the right way then its always good.

Korrektur meines Englischtextes

Hallo an alle, die die englische Sprache gut beherrschen. Ich muss einen Text über die Unterschiede zwischen Indien und Europa schreiben. Da mein Englisch nicht soooo gut ist, würde ich mich über Korrekturvorschläge freuen. Schönen Abend noch

The text Letter from a Land of Paradoxesfrom Vibha Surana deals with the differenses between India and the West-European countrys.

The first point is family. In India the parents are dominant and the kids have to follow them. The families in Europe are not so hierarchlly like in India. The next point are animals. Indish people thinks that animals have the same rights like human. So their are not handle them like we handle our pets. Furthermore, the religions are difference too. India have a lot of relegions and so many goods. In Europe are three main religions with only one good. My last point are the languages. Every European country has a mother tongue like England has english and Germany has german. In contrast, India has more than one languages which were spoken in the land. (komischer Satz oder?)

Finally, there are a lot of differences between India and the West but there are similarities too. Both areas lies on the coast and have a beautiful culture.

Ich hoffe, dass der Text einigermaßen geht. MfG

Aufsatz in Ordnung? (englisch) abcdefghiljdndjdndjdjdnwj

Hey Leute ich habe einen Aufsatz über california geschrieben und wollte mal fragen ob er in Ordnung ist und was ich besser machen könnte (es geht hauptsächlich um die guten und schlechten Sachen): California was first a Spanish colony an then a province of mexico. The USA won california from mexico in the mexican-american war. In 1850 california became the 31st state of the USA. It is third in area, first in population and first in wealth. Californias wealth comes from its natural resources like oil and gas, agriculture (fruit, flowers, wine), electronics, entertainment and tourism. California has a beautiful countryside. There are forest, mountains, wild animals, deserts, Redwood trees and national parks. In the world famous Sequoia National Park, you can see the worlds largest trees. California offers lots of jobs in the film industry (hollywood), in agriculture and in silicon valley. In Sillicon Valley there are many big and famous high-tech companies like Google or Apple. Because of the plenty of natural resources, like oil and gas, California is the richest State of the US. California is known for lovely beaches, good weather and high standard of livings. But California also bad sides. There are lots of traffic jams in the big cities like Los Angeles or San Fransisco. There are often wild fires because of the great heat. There are great differences between rich and poor people. There are many homeless people in the cities. There are also many earthquakes. because of them thousands of people were killed or injured in the past. And in California are lots of crimes because of the many street groups.
