When we talk about something that's not narrow, we use 'larga' in Portuguese if the noun is feminine. It's like saying 'wide' in English. For example, a wide street would be 'uma rua larga'.

Remember, adjectives in Portuguese often change their ending to match the gender of the noun. So, for feminine nouns, you'll see 'larga'. If it were a masculine noun, it would be 'largo'.
