?Which word?
suitable for or suitable to?
Suitable for is the usual pattern: 'suitable for children', 'suitable for the job'. Suitable to is also correct but rarer, mainly before a verb: 'suitable to be published'. The verb suit takes a direct object: 'The time suits me' (not 'suits to me'). Suited to or for describes a person's fitness: 'well suited to teaching'.
'Suitable for' सामान्य pattern है: 'suitable for children', 'suitable for the job'। 'Suitable to' भी सही है पर दुर्लभ, मुख्यतः verb से पहले: 'suitable to be published'। Verb suit के बाद सीधा object आता है: 'The time suits me' ('suits to me' नहीं)। 'Suited to' या 'for' व्यक्ति की उपयुक्तता बताता है: 'well suited to teaching'।
Keep apart suitable (appropriate) and suit (clothes; a court case; a set of cards; to be convenient).
Suitable (उपयुक्त) और suit (कपड़े; मुकदमा; ताश का सेट; ठीक बैठना) को अलग रखिए।
§Grammar and usage
Suitable for; the verb suit takes no preposition ('suits me', not 'suits to me').
यह बहुत पूछा जाता है: 'suitable for'; verb suit के साथ कोई preposition नहीं ('suits me', 'suits to me' नहीं)।
