Questions & Answers about Estoy muy satisfecho con los resultados del trimestre.
This lesson is about the perfect infinitive (haber + participle). How could I use one here to say "satisfied to have achieved the results"?
You would use the preposition de followed by the perfect infinitive. For example: Estoy muy satisfecho de haber logrado los resultados del trimestre. Notice that satisfecho takes the preposition con when followed by a noun, but de when followed by an infinitive.
Why do we use con after satisfecho instead of por?
In Spanish, the adjective satisfecho pairs with the preposition con when you are expressing satisfaction with a thing, situation, or person. It conveniently maps exactly to the English phrase "satisfied with."
Is satisfecho a past participle? Does it change depending on who is speaking?
Yes, satisfecho is the irregular past participle of the verb satisfacer (to satisfy). Because it is functioning here as an adjective describing the subject (used with estar), it must agree in gender and number. A female speaker would say Estoy muy satisfecha.
Is trimestre the standard word for a business "quarter"?
Yes. A trimestre literally means a period of three months, making it the exact equivalent of a financial quarter. It is also used in education for school terms. If you needed to talk about a four-month period, you would use cuatrimestre, and for six months, semestre.
