Definition
阔绰 describes someone who is generous with money and lives lavishly, often with a showy or ostentatious air. It differs from 奢侈 (shēchǐ), which focuses on luxury and indulgence, and from 挥霍 (huīhuò), a verb meaning to squander or waste money recklessly. 阔绰 is used as an adjective for a person's style or lifestyle.
