CHOOSE THE RIGHT WORD appropriate, suitable, proper, fitting ■ Something that is appropriate suits a particular situation (she searched for an appropriate word | we need care packages appropriate to people's needs ). The word may convey pleasure or satisfaction at the particular relevance of something (it is appropriate that healing should still be important in the village where the Red Cross was born ), or it can be used if you want to persuade others, by slight subterfuge, to agree with you that something is desirable (we consider it is now appropriate to consult interested individuals and agencies ). Appropriate is often used for something that is socially acceptable (society seems to think it is appropriate for little girls to shed tears ). ■ Suitable is a more general word for things that are right for a particular purpose or occasion, and they need not be the only correct or possible ones (he may be able to find suitable alternative work | the site isn't suitable for residential use ). ■ A proper person or thing may well be the only correct person or thing for a purpose or a job (inquiries should be addressed to the proper officer | medium-sized and larger building firms should carry out proper training ). In this sense, proper is always used before the noun it qualifies. Proper is also used to mean ‘socially acceptable ’ (her parents' view of what was proper for a well-bred girl ). ■ Something that is fitting (the least common word of this group ) is particularly apposite, and usually desirable (his election as president of the society was a fitting tribute | it was very fitting that the late Sgt Day's brother and sister were among the guests ).These notes show fine distinctions in meaning between closely related synonyms to help you find the best word.
