Usage Note

Stragrande is almost always paired with maggioranza ('majority'): la stragrande maggioranza means 'the vast majority' and is a fixed, emphatic collocation. It never stands alone before a noun the way 'overwhelming' can in English; its use outside that fixed phrase is rare.

Examples

"La stragrande maggioranza è d'accordo."

Natural Translation

The vast majority agrees.
