Etymology & Components

The Chinese word 宏大 (hóng dà) is composed of two characters: 宏 (hóng) and 大 (dà). 宏 means "vast", "grand", or "magnificent", while 大 means "big", "great", or "important". Together, 宏大 means "grand", "magnificent", or "on a grand scale".The character 宏 is composed of two parts: the radical 广 (guǎng), which means "wide" or "vast", and the phonetic component 工 (gōng). The radical 广 indicates that 宏 is related to the concept of wideness or vastness, while the phonetic component 工 suggests that it is pronounced similarly to the word 工 (gōng).The character 大 is composed of two parts: the radical 人 (rén), which means "person", and the phonetic component 犬 (quǎn). The radical 人 indicates that 大 is related to the concept of a person, while the phonetic component 犬 suggests that it is pronounced similarly to the word 犬 (quǎn).The combination of 宏 and 大 creates the word 宏大, which means "grand", "magnificent", or "on a grand scale". This word is often used to describe something that is impressive in size, scope, or importance. For example, it could be used to describe a grand building, a magnificent performance, or an important event.
