Definition
恰当 (qià dàng) means 'appropriate, suitable' with a nuance of being exactly right for the situation — it emphasizes precision and fitting perfectly, often used for timing, words, or methods. It is more specific than the general 合适 (hé shì) and more natural in speech than the formal 适当 (shì dàng).
