Meaning and Usage

The adjective 妥当 (tuǒdang) means "appropriate," "reasonable," or "proper." It is often used to describe decisions, plans, explanations, or actions that are well-considered and suitable for the situation.

Common Contexts

妥当 is frequently used in formal or semi-formal contexts such as business, academic discussions, or official reports. It implies that something is not only suitable but also justified and sound.

Collocations and Patterns

These collocations emphasize the suitability and correctness of the subject.

Nuances

妥当 stresses the correctness and soundness of something, often after careful consideration. It differs from similar words like 合适 (héshì), which means "suitable" but can be more casual or subjective. 妥当 carries a stronger sense of justification and appropriateness in a given context.

Common Confusion

Do not confuse 妥当 with (shìdàng), which also means "appropriate" but can imply a more flexible or moderate degree. 妥当 often suggests a more definitive and well-founded appropriateness.
