Questions & Answers about Estamos satisfechos de haber obtenido este logro.
Why use the perfect infinitive haber obtenido here instead of the regular infinitive obtener?
The perfect infinitive (haber plus the past participle) shows that the action of obtaining the achievement happened before the feeling of satisfaction. If you used obtener, it would mean you are satisfied to be obtaining it right now, rather than having already achieved it.
Why is there a de between satisfechos and haber?
In Spanish, adjectives expressing feelings or mental states usually require a preposition to connect them to an infinitive verb. The phrase estar satisfecho de is a standard structure meaning to be satisfied with or glad about doing something.
I usually see lograr used as a verb. Is logro just a conjugation of it here?
While logro can be the yo form of the verb (meaning I achieve), here it is a masculine noun meaning an achievement. You can tell it is a noun in this sentence because it comes right after the demonstrative adjective este.
Quick refresher: why is the word for this este and not esto?
The word este is the masculine singular adjective used right before masculine singular nouns like logro. You only use esto when referring to an abstract idea or an unidentified object, never directly in front of a masculine noun.
