krupnyy is a Russian word that translates to "large," "big," or "heavy" in English. It is an adjective used to describe the size, weight, or importance of something. For example, krupnyy obrazets would refer to a large specimen, while krupnyy vopros could mean a significant issue. The word can also be used in a more figurative sense, to denote something of great consequence or magnitude.

In certain contexts, krupnyy can also refer to a person of substantial physical build. For instance, a krupnyy muzhchina would be a large man. The word's usage is generally straightforward and depends on the noun it modifies.

The etymology of krupnyy is believed to be related to the Proto-Slavic word *krupъ, which also meant "large" or "coarse."
