Adjectives denoting ‘Big” in English and their Vietnamese equivalents are collected, analyzed and classified into groups. The most important and significant problem, the similarities and differences between English adjectives and Vietnamese adjectives, in view of semantics, are presented in order to help learners have better use of language in communication.
