why 'grosse' is wrong?

[n6zs]

There are several words in French that have a sense of "big" to them, but in different ways:

• grand(e) : big (usually meaning "tall")
• large : big (with the subtext meaning of "wide")
• gros(se) : big (ref volume, with the subtext meaning of "fat" or "thick")

So they all mean "big" in their own way, but they don't all equally apply in every situation.

[Olarale000]

Is "large" used to decribe a spoon in French?

[n6zs]

The French "large" denotes width so I doubt that it would be used to describe a spoon.

[Tormod18]

I would definitely say that a large spoon can be too wide - even for my big mounth.

[pbhj9]

I got a multi-choice "my spoon is too big" and had to choose between 'grande', 'large', and 'grosse' ... which are all potentially correct AFAICT.

How do I in know what characteristics they look for in a spoon! ^_^
