Translation

wide, broad

Examples

.

The river is very wide here.

.

They walked along a wide street.

.

He has broad shoulders.

.

The door is not wide enough.

o.

She greeted me with a broad smile.

- gives a for narrow, and there is no separate root for it, so the prefix earns its keep here. Larĝo is the width as a measurement and o the quality of being wide.

Keep it apart from . measures across one dimension, side to side: a street, a door, a pair of shoulders. is about extent over an area, a plain or a landscape or the reach of somebody's knowledge. English broad blurs the two, so translating by instinct will occasionally put you in the wrong dimension.
