How to Say ‘Great profit; big success’ in Traditional Chinese
大利
💬 Usage Tip: [利] is “profit/benefit.” So [大利] leans a bit “money/business success,” not just general luck. Together with [大吉], it becomes a catchy, rhythmic blessing.
🇹🇼 In Taiwan: Because [大利] sounds business-friendly, it’s popular to say to shop owners, coworkers, or anyone starting something new—very common in Taiwan’s New Year small talk.
