How it's used
Focuses on the internal feeling of having enough rather than the external achievement of a goal. It is often used to describe a state of mind where one stops seeking more because their current situation aligns with their expectations. It carries a sense of peace and lack of greed.
Examples
Your job is so stable now, you should be very satisfied.
He doesn't have high demands for life and is easily satisfied.
Related words
Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 滿意, which is more commonly used for being satisfied with a specific service, product, or performance. 滿足 refers to a deeper, more holistic sense of contentment with one's life or circumstances.
