zufrieden

adj · [t͡suˈfʁiːdn̩] ·
Etymology

Since ca. 1500, from univerbation of zu + Frieden, literally “at peace”. Likely a calque of Middle Low German tô vrēde(n), Middle Dutch te vrēden (modern Dutch tevreden), both of which date from the 13th century. Apart from the dating, this is also confirmed by the fact that the earliest High German attestations are from Hesse and the Rhineland.

Translation

  1. satisfied, content, happy (with something)

    Bist du mit deiner neuen Wohnung zufrieden?

    Are you satisfied with your new apartment?

    Man kann nicht alle zufrieden stellen.

    You can't keep everyone satisfied.

    Bevor ihr nicht Frieden schließt mit dem, was ihr seid, werdet ihr nie zufrieden sein mit dem, was ihr habt.

    Until you make peace with who you are, you'll never be content with what you have.
