The usage of 大規模


Which option is sound more natural (colloquial):

> 政府が法律をしたい変更に反対して、大きなデモが行われました。1万人以上が参加しました。

> 政府が法律をしたい変更に反対して、大規模なデモが行われました。1万人以上が参加しました。

I have the impression that 大規模 is a bit too much in that context and maybe a
bit too formal. If there is anything else you would change in the sentence,
please tell me (I want to be able to notice my mistakes).

Thank you




The overall tone of these sentences _does_ look like a formal news article, so
this 大規模 doesn't look unnatural or overly formal at all. 大きな is not bad, but
it sounds a bit too elementary. (But are you actually trying to make casual
sentences like those spoken among friends? Then you need to change not just
大規模 but almost everywhere.)

And 政府が法律をしたい only means something nonsense like "the government wants to do
law". You need to say 政府が行いたい法律の変更 instead.
