very large natural cave

A very big natural cave in rock, usually under the ground.

نمط الاستخدام: a cavern in [rock/ground]
خطأ شائع:
Learners often use "cave" for all underground spaces and do not know "cavern". In general English, this is not wrong, but "cavern" is used when you want to stress that the cave is very large. Some learners also confuse "cavern" with "cabin" (a small house) because they look similar in writing.
المرادفات
cave (More general and more common; can be large or small, while a cavern suggests great size.) | grotto (Often smaller and more picturesque; can be natural or artificial, sometimes used for decorative caves.)
الأضداد
solid rock (Describes rock that has no hollow space inside, the opposite of a hollow underground chamber.)

very large empty enclosed space

A very big and empty space that feels like a cave, for example inside a room or a body part.

نمط الاستخدام: a cavern of [something]
خطأ شائع:
Learners may confuse the noun "cavern" with the adjective "cavernous". "Cavern" is the space itself, while "cavernous" describes something that is like a cavern (for example, "a cavernous hall"). In this figurative sense, English speakers more often use "cavernous" than "cavern".
المرادفات
void (Focuses more on emptiness and absence; "cavern" suggests a specific large hollow space with walls around it.) | hollow (A more general word for an empty space inside something; less strongly suggests great size than "cavern".)
الأضداد
cramped room (Describes a very small, tight space, which contrasts with the feeling of wide emptiness suggested by "cavern".)
المتلازمات اللفظية
a cavern of a mouth |the cavern of his chest |a cavern of darkness |the great cavern of the hall

to hollow out like a cave

To cut or wear away the inside of something so it becomes like a cave.

نمط الاستخدام: to cavern [rock/surface]
خطأ شائع:
This verb is very rare in modern English. Learners usually should not use it and should prefer "hollow out" or "erode". Some may confuse it with the common verb phrase "cave in", which means "to fall in" or "to give way" and is not related in grammar to "cavern".
المرادفات
hollow out (More common phrasal verb in modern English; neutral style, while "cavern" as a verb is rare and more literary or technical.)
الأضداد
fill in (Means to put material into a hollow space, the opposite of making a hollow or cavity.)
