Scoobyqueen Posted October 10, 2008 at 07:04 PM Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 at 07:04 PM I have noted down this expression 魁伟 in my notes as meaning big and tall. Now I cant remember in which context I saw it. The dictionary has not got many examples. Could anyone provide a typical example of its use. It looks like it has other meanings too. Thank you in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeyah Posted October 10, 2008 at 07:32 PM Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 at 07:32 PM yes: stalwart, burly, robust, tall&strong all 对 typical use of 魁伟 would be in phrases like 身材魁伟/体格魁伟/魁伟体格/形体魁伟 it's meaning is typically masculine 魁伟 的男子/大汉; there's this stereotype of 男子魁伟女子娇小 example sentence：他不但个子高而且魁伟 & there's also the phrase： 高大魁伟 for more examples see: http://www.jukuu.com/search.php?q=%E9%AD%81%E4%BC%9F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HashiriKata Posted October 10, 2008 at 07:41 PM Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 at 07:41 PM In simple terms: 魁伟： big & strong, having a well-developed physique. 他长得很魁伟 = He's a hunk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
