Example sentences using: satisfaction

This French sentence follows a similar structure to English, expressing the speaker's source of satisfaction. 'Ma' is used for 'my', reflecting the gender of the noun it precedes. 'Dans' translates to 'in', showing where the satisfaction is found.
La satisfaction du travail bien fait est incomparable.
The satisfaction of a job well done is incomparable.
This sentence uses the noun 'satisfaction' to express a feeling that's hard to match. It includes a compound noun, 'travail bien fait', which means 'job well done'. 'Est' is the third person singular of 'être' (to be), used here to equate satisfaction to being incomparable.
Il a exprimé sa satisfaction après avoir mangé le repas.

In French, expressing emotions often follow the pattern 'exprimer sa + emotion'. Thus 'exprimé sa satisfaction' means 'expressed his satisfaction'. The use of 'après avoir mangé' (after eating) links the preceding action with the expression of satisfaction.
