Also means
suitable
Usage Note
Appropriato agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies: un comportamento appropriato, una risposta appropriata. It is more formal than adatto (suitable) or giusto (right). The opposite is inappropriato, a common false cognate with English 'inappropriate' — they are genuine equivalents.
Examples
"Ha scelto un regalo molto appropriato."
Natural Translation
He chose a very appropriate gift.
