3 -big, grand, great o large?-
Nota d'usoGli aggettivi big e large si usano entrambi con il significato di “grande” con riferimento alle dimensioni. Big è più comune nel parlato: He is big for his age, è grande per la sua età. Large è più formale: a large government grant, una grande sovvenzione statale. Great si usa, invece, per indicare qualcosa di imponente, importante, meraviglioso o famoso: a great writer, un grande scrittore. Per indicare qualcosa di grandioso e imponente, oltre a great, si usa grand ( a grand staircase, un grandioso scalone), che si trova anche in alcuni toponimi ( the Grand Canal, il Canal grande), ma che in genere non ha il significato di “famoso e importante”; per esempio, “un grande scrittore” non si traduce con a grand writer.Large o great si usano per le quantità: large (o great) quantities of copper, grandi quantità di rame; a large (o great) sum of money, una grande quantità di denaro. Great viene usato anche in riferimento a sentimenti: in great pain, molto addolorato; I have great respect for your views, ho un grande rispetto per le tue opinioni. In queste ultime frasi usare large al posto di great sarebbe sbagliato.
