Tipar de utilizare:
a sizable [amount/number/chunk] of [something]
Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes spell it as 'sizeable'; this form is also used, but 'sizable' is more common in American English. Another mistake is using it directly for people (e.g., *a sizable man*), which sounds odd; it is usually used with quantities or groups, such as 'a sizable amount', 'a sizable audience', or 'a sizable group'.
Sinonime
considerable (Very close in meaning; slightly more formal and common in written English.)
|
substantial (Often suggests both large size and real importance or impact, not just a big quantity.)
Antonime
small (Describes a clearly limited or not large size or amount, the direct opposite of 'sizable'.)
|
tiny (Stronger opposite, emphasizing a very, very small size or amount.)
