Saying characters of words the wrong way round is something most learners do. This makes 合适(héshì) and 适合(shìhé) annoying to say the least. They mean more or less the same, but one is a verb and one is a adjective.
适合 is a verb meaning "to suit", and must take an object.
Structure
Subject + 适合 + Object
Examples
- 这 个 工作 很 适合 我。
- 你 的 中文 名字 真 适合 你！
- 这 部 电影 不 适合 儿童 看。
合适 is an adjective meaning "suitable or appropriate", and is used in the same way as other adjectives.
Examples
- iPad 虽然 好 用，但是 对 我 来 说 价格 不 太 合适！
- 在 办公室 里 抽烟 有 点 不 合适 吧。
- 他 就是 最 合适 的 人，他 完全 符合 我们 的 招聘 要求。
We cannot say:
- 这 个 合适 我
- 那样 很 适合
