Arabic term or phrase: وسيعاً
Hi everyone,

This is from a Sudanese text, after a woman cleans up the house. I've found وسيعا as wide, but I'm not sure how it fits in this context.

وصار الحوش وسيعاً، والأواني لامعة ونظيفة ومرتبة وخالية من الدهون

Thanks!

This takes place in a city.

English translation:more accommodating
Explanation:
It looks to me that the "house" can not go "wider" unless it has been physically re-bulit or something like that. However, as indicated by the context, I believe that for the house to become "wider" upon making it tidy means "it has become more accommodating"
