富 is one-syllable word, so if there is a case that a two-syllables word fits better, which word should I use?

Which adjective is the most suitable to express "rich" for a person?
# Which adjective is the most suitable to express "rich" for a person?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-11-22)

In Mandarin there are a variety of adjectives that express "rich" - 富，丰富，肥，充实，阔，丰盛，浓郁，富足，etc...

Some of them I believe don't fit in a person; 肥 is an equivalent to "fertile" in English, 浓郁 is "dense", etc...

But I can't decide which is the correct adjective among 富，丰富，富足，丰盛, etc...

The example:

> 年轻中国女人很\_\_\_。
>
> 为什么华人那么\_\_\_?

In these cases, which adjective is the most suitable to express "rich"?

Also, in these cases (irrespective of the term "rich"), how can I know which adjective is the most suitable in a context?

In your context, among those words you listed, only 富 is appropriate. 富 means 富有；有钱；having lots of money.

肥 can also fit, but it will mean fat, which would be an insult.

阔 might be also ok, meaning "having lots of money or able to spend lots of money". But it's not that common as 富 or 有钱.

The rest 丰盛，浓郁，富足 are usually used to describe things, conditions and etc.
