Phrase | suit |
Text | In this podcast, the verb "to suit" means to be appropriate for someone or something, or to meet the requirements or needs of someone or something: "In this neighborhood, we can find restaurants to suit all budgets." The verb "to suit" can also mean to look good or attractive: "That color suits her very well." The informal, slightly rude phrase "suit yourself" is used to tell a person that he or she can behave however he or she wants, but one does not think it is good or proper: "I think the dress is ugly, but you can buy it if you want to. Suit yourself." Finally, the phrase "to be perfectly suited for (something)" means to have all the characteristics to do something: "Wayne seems perfectly suited for fatherhood." |
