What's the difference between 豪華 and 贅沢? While reading a scene about some people checking out the luxurious hot tub that is in their building, one of the character remarks: > which I understand as meaning like: It's not at the level of being too , but it's extremely . Am I right in understanding that is more extravagant that ?

in isolation is a positive word meaning _luxurious_. But if we say **** , it of course turns into a directly negative remark (" _overly_ luxurious" or " _too_ luxurious").

On the other hand, is an ambivalent word that has both positive and negative connotations. When it's negative, it's closer to _extravagant_ or _lavish_. People often say , , etc. When it's positive, it's almost interchangeable with .

So the speaker rephrased a clearly negative remark ( **** ) to an ambiguous phrase () to make the sentence sound more euphemistic and milder. But if we remove , is the word that is closer to _extravagant_.
