The Chinese word 适当 (shìdàng) is composed of two characters: 适 (shì) and 当 (dàng). The character 适 has several meanings, including "suitable," "appropriate," and "just right." The character 当 can mean "proper," "correct," or "fitting." Together, the two characters 适当 mean "suitable," "appropriate," or "just right."The word 适当 is often used to describe something that is well-suited for a particular purpose or situation. For example, you could say 这种衣服很适当 (zhè zhǒng yīfú hěn shìdàng), which means "This type of clothing is very suitable." You could also say 这个价格很适当 (zhège jiàgé hěn shìdàng), which means "This price is very reasonable."The word 适当 can also be used to describe someone who is good at adapting to different situations. For example, you could say 他很适当 (tā hěn shìdàng), which means "He is very adaptable." You could also say 她很适当 (tā hěn shìdàng), which means "She is very flexible."The word 适当 is a versatile word that can be used in a variety of contexts. It is a useful word to know for HSK learners who want to be able to express themselves clearly and accurately in Chinese.
