Meaning

Magnificent / Luxurious / Strong / Proud

  • 豪快ごうかい — hearty; lively; dashing

  • 強豪きょうごう — powerhouse; strong contender

豪 combines the radical いのこ with components that suggest size and force. The core nuance is imposing strength or splendor—hence senses like “powerful,” “magnificent,” and “luxurious.” In compounds, it often marks vigor (豪快) or status (豪華, 富豪).

Compare (forceful, grand) with (graceful, gentle excellence). Both signal “quality,” but from opposite moods—bold vs. refined.

Creates

豪快ごうかい — hearty, bold, and lively.
