Right, the typical ways to use 适合 and 合适 should be the following.

• 面店也很适合冬天吃
• 冬天吃也很合适

The usage of 适合 is similar to 喜欢，often followed by an object immediately.

The usage of 合适is similar to 贵. It tends to be the end of the sentence.

You might have already seen this lesson about the difference between 适合 and 合适

However, it’s getting common to hear people say 很适合 in informal language as in this dialogue.

People say it either ways. “ní shǔ shéme?”  and “nǐ shú shěme?”

什 can be sometimes pronounced as third tone in “shěnme.” That make 你属什 three third tones in a row and therefore different ways to pronounce it.

Posted on: The Three De's: 的/得/地

Yes, they are both correct and have very close meaning while the slight difference is that most 得 is to have judgement or result of the action; and 地 is to describe the situation of the action.

Plus, one also considers what you want information to say first and the positions in the sentence.

For example, there could be two ways for this sentence: “he slowly walked home.” (or he walked home slowly......)

• 他很慢很慢地走回家 Tā hěnmàn hěnmàn di zǒuhuíjiā(since *走回家得很慢 doesn’t work in Chinese you have to change the sequence into the following one if you want to use 得. And that would change the tone of it a tiny bit. )

• 回家的路上，他走得很慢。(On the way home, he walked slowly.)Huíjiā de lùshàng tā zǒu de hěnmàn
