Dutch people are often direct. Saying 'Ik ben tevreden' is a clear, honest way to give feedback without being overly emotional. In Flanders, you might hear 'Ik ben content' more frequently due to the influence of French, but 'tevreden' is universally understood. In a Dutch business meeting, 'tevreden' is the standard way to signal that a proposal is acceptable.
