1. 1

    Airy most often describes a room or space that feels open, light, and full of fresh air — not stuffy or crowded — 'a bright, airy kitchen' sounds like a pleasant place to be. It can also describe something light and delicate, like fabric or a dessert ('an airy cake'). Less often, it describes a person's manner that feels a little too light or careless about something serious — 'an airy dismissal' means brushing something off without taking it seriously.

    (房間)通風明亮的;輕盈的;(態度)輕率隨便的
