Notes: In this lesson, it could also be interesting to speak about couples using matching outfits.
Is it possible to use 好相称的 for a well-matched couple that doesn't have matching outfits ?

My guess is that the opposite of matching isn't not matching, but rather clashing.

July 21, 2010, 02:55 AMFor a well-matched couple，we usually say:
他们俩很配。Tāmen liǎ hěnpèi.
For a well-matched couple that doesn't have matching outfits，you can also say:他们俩很配。
For a couple that have matching outfits, you can say: 他们的衣服很配。Tāmen de yīfu hěn pèi.
配 or 相配 is more common than 相称.
好相称的 sounds strange, 很相配 or 很配 is more natural.

What's the opposite of 好相称的 ?
