Came here to check prepositions for geeignet. Saw both für and zu. Whats the difference if any and presumably its the same prepositions for ungeeignet
Nice question.
I’d say that “für” goes with “entities” (people, things) and “zu” goes with (nounified) activities
– Dieses Spiel ist nicht für Kinder geeignet.
– Dieser Student ist nicht für die Liga geeignet.
– Diese Schuhe sind nicht zum Wandern geeignet.
– Deine Haare sind nicht dazu geeignet, sie zu färben.
You can also find “für” for the actions, but NOT “zu” for entities. So using it in the first two examples would sound very wrong.
This goes for ungeeignet as well and also for the verb “sich eignen für/zu”
