Oiriúnach or feiliúnach or fóirsteanach.
Or with verbs as Aonghus said:
oir, or feil or fóir (it suits : fóireann sé...)
In Ulster we use the "fóir"- words. If I remember well, the oir- words are Munster and the feil- words are Connachta.
But yeah, with a longer sentence or some context it would be easier.

Another way of saying "suits" or "goes with" (of colours, clothes): "tá an céirdeán san ag cuir leis an íochtar eile" - "that blouse matches,goes with, suits the other skirt".
"fóirithint ar dhuine" also means "help, come to the assistance of someone".
In Corca Dhuibhne, there are now two verbs : oir and rúnaigh (from oiriúnach). Oir means "suits" but rúnaigh means "fits" as in clothes and takes a direct object with no preposition - "Rúnaíonn an chasóg san tu" - "That coat fits you" but "Oireann an chasóg san duit" - suits you. |

Is dócha go mbeadh ruainne don suibiachtúlacht ag gabháil le "oireann do": dar leat go n-oireann casóg do dhuine, dar le duine eile ná hoireann chuige.
Rúnódh feidhre bróg tu nó ní rúnódh; ní do réir thuairim an duine é. |

Hey, tá brón orm a chairde.
Mar shampla,
Could you let me know if this is suitable? (am, áit srl)
nó
Could you let me know if this is not suitable? |

Cén "this" atá i gceist?
Mar shampla:
An bhfeileann 3 a chloig duit don coinne? |

An ndéarfá liom an oirfeadh tráth agus láthair an chruinnithe/na coinne dhuit nó ná hoirfeadh?
Recte: "a 3 a chlog", "don choinne/gcoinne". |
