Perpekto, tama, o walang anumang pagkakamali.
/na-ra-RA-pat/
FIL: Angkop, tama, o wasto para sa isang partikular na layunin, tao, okasyon, o sitwasyon.
EN: proper, fitting, appropriate
It's the 'adulting' word. It's what you *should* do, not what you *want* to do. Like, 'nararapat' na mag-save for retirement, pero 'gusto' mong mag-travel to Korea. It's the standard, the right thing, the one that won't get you judged by your titas.
From na- + dapat (should, must), with reduplication of the first syllable of the root.
ROOT MEANING: should; must; ought to
Often used in formal contexts to mean 'what is right or just'. It carries a stronger moral or ethical weight than just 'tama' (correct).
🇵🇭 Ang nararapat na parusa ay dapat igawad sa mga nagkasala.
🇺🇸 The appropriate punishment should be given to the guilty.
🇵🇭 Hindi nararapat ang kanyang ugali sa isang pormal na pagtitipon.
🇺🇸 His behavior is not fitting for a formal gathering.
