I think waasi3a should be translated as "vast" - rather than "spacious" - in the case of cities or countries or other vast open spaces.

"Spacious", in English appears more appropriate to smaller enclosed quarters, like a car or a house. - A university, which covers vast campus grounds, is not spacious. Its mensa or its auditorium or its dormitories may be spacious, but not the university as a whole institution.

Why is it pronounced "madina" rather than "madinatun", like in the other sentence constructions with ة?
