恰如其分 (qià rú qí fèn) — (idiom) appropriate, apt, just right

Definition

恰如其分 is an idiom meaning 'just right, perfectly appropriate'—it describes actions or words that hit the exact proper degree. Very close to 恰到好处 but emphasizes correct proportion (分) rather than perfect spot (处); unlike the adverbs 正好/恰好, it is used as a predicate or complement.
