ふさわしい vs. 似合う: You Should Improve Your Japanese.
What is the difference between “ふさわしい(fusawashii) and 似合う(niau)”? Which is used as the meaning of “worthy”? After reading this, you would be answering this question. Let me introduce what their subtle differences are and how you correctly use them such as native speakers today!
[wp-svg-icons icon=”checkmark-circle” wrap=”i”] ふさわしい(fusawashii)
[wp-svg-icons icon=”arrow-right-2″ wrap=”span”] Worthy, Fit, Suit / 合适 / 적합하다 / Phù hợp (với hoàn cảnh)
“ふさわしい(fusawashii)” means “Worthy, Fit or Suit” and which has been used as the meaning of “deserving respect, admiration, or support OR to be right for a particular person, situation, or occasion”. The basic ways to use it are that “___は/がAにふさわしい。(___ is worthy of A./___ is not suited to A.)”, etc. For instance, “彼は大統領にふさわしい。(He is worthy of being president./He is suited to be president.)”, etc. The tips for using it are that “ふさわしい” is used as the meaning of “TO BE RIGHT FOR A PARTICULAR PERSON, SITUATION OR OCCASION”, unlike “似合う”. So, you would be able to use “この服は子供に似合っているけど、入学式にはふさわしくない。(This cloth looks good on a child but it is not suited for his/her entrance ceremony.)”. That’s what their difference is. Everyone could use “ふさわしい” as casual, polite and formal such as “彼は大統領にふさわしいね。(He is worthy of being president./He is suited to be president.)” as casual and “彼は大統領にふさわしいです。(He is worthy of being president./He is suited to be president.)” as polite and formal.
その服はお葬式にふさわしくないよ。 (The cloth is not suited for a funeral.) (那件衣服参加葬礼不合适。) (그 옷은 장례식장에 어울리지 않아.) (Bộ quần áo đó không phù hợp với tang lễ đâu.)
