常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Bulky"?Which "Bulky" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×This bag is very bulky to carry.
✓This bag is very bulky, so it's hard to carry.
"Bulky" describes size and shape, not directly the action of carrying. It's better to state the consequence of being bulky (e.g., hard to carry) in a separate clause.
×He is a bulky man, so he runs fast.
✓He is a bulky man, so he might not run fast.
"Bulky" implies large, heavy, and often awkward in size, which is typically associated with being slow or clumsy, not fast. The logic is contradictory.
×I bought a bulky expensive computer.
✓I bought an expensive, bulky computer.
When using multiple adjectives, the typical order in English is opinion (expensive) before size/weight (bulky). The original order sounds unnatural.
×The information is too bulky to understand.
✓The information is too voluminous/complex to understand.
"Bulky" is used for physical objects that take up a lot of space. For abstract things like information, use "voluminous" (large in amount), "complex," or "dense."
×This jacket makes me look bulky.
✓This jacket makes me look big / puffy / oversized.
While understandable, "bulky" is more often used to describe the object itself (the jacket is bulky). To describe the effect on one's appearance, "big," "puffy," or "oversized" is more natural.
×A bulky ship sailed into the harbor.
✓A large / massive ship sailed into the harbor.
"Bulky" often carries a nuance of being awkwardly large, heavy, and difficult to handle. For a ship, which is designed to be large, terms like "large," "massive," or "hulking" are more typical unless emphasizing its clumsiness.
