満足

1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning

• Structure: 満足 is read as まんぞく and functions as a noun or with する for feeling that a result or condition adequately fulfills an expectation or need.
• Basic usage: Mark the object of satisfaction with に in 作品に満足する, and use the potential form in 満足できる食事 for something capable of satisfying.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

• Object marked by に
  • 満足する takes the result or object with に; 作品を満足する is not the pattern used here.
• Degree of fulfillment
  • 十分に満足できる means that the meal adequately met the need despite limited ingredients, not necessarily that every aspect was perfect.
