How to say "open-handed" in Japanese

• 気前のいいきまえのいい
  expression, i-adjective (よい/いい)Covers 'open-handed' in its most concrete sense: generous with money, spending or giving freely without stinginess. This form, with の, modifies a following noun; the same phrase appears as 気前がいい when it is the predicate.
  気前きまえのよきより、まず至当しとうたれ。↗

  Be just before you are generous.
• 気前がいいきまえがいい
  expression, i-adjective (よい/いい)The predicate form of the same phrase: use it to state that someone is generous. The meaning is identical to 気前のいい — open-handed, free with money — so the choice is grammatical, not one of nuance.
  彼女かのじょは大変たいへん気前きまえがいい。↗

  She is very free with her money.
• 鷹揚おうよう
  na-adjective, nounCovers 'open-handed' on its 'large-hearted' side: generosity as a broad, magnanimous cast of character rather than the plain act of spending freely. A less common word, and seldom the everyday choice for this sense.

For 'open-handed' meaning free with money, use 「気前のいい」 before a noun or 「気前がいい」 as the predicate; 鷹揚, also less common, is for large-hearted, magnanimous generosity of character.
