Contexte culturel
In Germany, 'zufrieden' is often the highest praise you'll get from a boss. It implies you've met the high standards expected. Austrians might use 'Passt schon' more frequently in casual settings, but 'zufrieden' remains the standard for formal satisfaction. Swiss German speakers use 'zfriede'. It is used frequently to emphasize consensus and social harmony. In international German-speaking business, 'Kundenzufriedenheit' (customer satisfaction) is a key metric that is taken very literally.
