Feeling pleased because something is as good as you wanted, needed, or expected. It can also mean having had enough of something, especially food.

Usage & Nuances

Often followed by 'with': 'satisfied with the result'. More formal than 'happy' in many contexts. Common in service, work, and quality contexts: 'customer satisfied', 'not satisfied with the answer'. It can also mean 'full' after eating, but that use is less common in everyday conversation than 'full'.
