πρέπει
prépō
are proper
To be fitting, seemly, or appropriate; of actions, attitudes, or appearances that are considered proper to a context or person. Πρέπω denotes that something is suitable or in accordance with what is expected, particularly in ethical, social, or ceremonial settings. Its primary sense in Koine Greek is impersonal: 'it is fitting, proper, appropriate.' In less frequent usage, it can carry the sense of being distinguished or prominent (literally or metaphorically, as in standing out by virtue or decorum).
