It suits you well in Russian: How to say?
To say it suits you well in Russian, you can use the follow phrases:
– Тебе́ идёт.
[tee-byé ee-dyót]
It suits you well. (singular and informal)
– Вам идёт.
[vam ee-dyót]
It suits you well. (plural or formal)
Идёт means it goes in Russian. So the phrase literally means it goes to you.
As you might have notices, the pronoun it is omitted in these sentences. You can add it as in the following examples:
– Тебе́ э́то идёт.
[tee-byé é-ta ee-dyót]
It suits you well. (singular and informal)
– Вам э́то идёт.
[vam é-ta ee-dyót]

But to make it sound more natural, use the word так instead of э́то. Так means so:
– Тебе́ так о́чень идёт.
[tee-byé tak ó-cheen’ ee-dyót]
It suits you very well like that. (singular and informal)
– Вам так идёт.
[vam tak ee-dyót]

[vam ee-dyót krás-nyî tsvyet]
