Re:What is the difference?
Dear Fatin,

mainly "large" is used when above the average, once it's like "big" but more ostentatious, to impress:
- You can say "It's a big city" or if you want to attract people for it's magnitude "It's a large city"
- You can say "He played a big role in her life" or if you want to say that he was vital in her life, "He played a large role in her life"

Hope I was able to help U

See U
