The word suitable is a term that we generally use when we want to express that something or someone is accommodated, they are coupled to another in an excellent way, or failing that, to refer that something or someone turns out to be appropriate for the realization of an end, to use, or to carry out a certain action.
It should be noted that the word can be applied in relation to a person as well as to something, a thing, an object. Well then, Juan is the most suitable man for my cousin because of the patience and tranquility that distinguish him. That long black dress is best suited for the reception, the other one is too short and will not look good in that context.
From the examples presented, it can be easily appreciated that what is qualified as adequate is so because it observes the precise characteristics that the other demands, thus facilitating the coupling between the two.
On the other hand and generally, what is considered adequate is in tune and respects the social conventions that revolve around it, that is, what is qualified as adequate is expected not to be out of tune and even more, it is known that in the context or situation in which it acts, it will do so satisfactorily and as expected.
Meanwhile, the word appropriate presents a variety of synonyms that may be used in its place and vice versa, that is, it itself can be used as an alternative to the following words: apt, appropriate, convenient, logical and timely. Meanwhile, the concept that is directly opposed to that of adequate is that of improper , which just refers to the opposite, that which is characterized by being inappropriate, inconvenient, and therefore does not facilitate the aforementioned coupling between two issues or people.
