Cool - and we'll leave the wife in for you but add 'beautiful'.. That is the thing with these marriages though, you don't even know if you're going to be attracted to your spouse

I think it is all about context. In a conversation being had about cities in Canada, one should be able to say that Vancouver is a largish Canadian city.
sure, sure, everyone has his own "large cities". For example, Reykjavík is a large city for Iceland.

I can also say Shanghai has good air quality, in a conversation about cities in China It is all about the
context“ anyway.

Shanghai has the best air best quality in China. That would be a fair statement. Air quality has universal units.
