The Difference between Big & Large

Big means 1. of considerable size or extent, e.g., the big meal 2. of considerable importance or seriousness, e.g. big cases



Large: of considerable or relatively great size, extent, or capacity, e.g. a large sum of money, a large flock of crows

Generally, big and large can be used when you describe the actual size; however, large is slightly more formal; also, large is used in the expressions: a large amount/number/ quantity.

this is Yinvi

Hello, everyone, this is Yinvi Huang. Some people may think that “Yinvi” is an odd name, so I would like to say something about my English name first. Originally, my name was called Eva, which was given by a teacher in the kindergarten. However, when I gave a self-introduction in Wenzao, I created Yinvi then, since I thought my original name was too normal.



I like to go outdoors to enjoy nature and participate in a variety of activities when I am free. Also, I think travel and taking pictures in the trip are the best ways to learn about people, culture, life and ourselves. Therefore, I am trying my best to explore Taipei in these two years. : )
