How it's used
Focuses on objective compatibility or alignment with requirements rather than personal preference. While often used interchangeably with 啱, 適合 carries a slightly more formal or evaluative tone. It is commonly followed by a noun or a verb phrase indicating the person or situation being matched.

Common mistake
Learners often confuse 適合 with 啱. While 啱 is highly versatile and covers everything from 'correct' to 'fitting', 適合 is specifically about suitability or appropriateness for a purpose or person.
