뜻
Feeling content.
문화적 배경
The Dutch value 'nuchterheid' (being down-to-earth). Saying you are 'tevreden' is often a bigger compliment than it sounds, as it implies a lack of complaints, which is rare in a critical culture. Flemish people often use 'content' instead of 'tevreden'. It sounds slightly warmer and more informal. In Dutch business, 'tevreden' is the benchmark. If a client is 'tevreden', the contract is safe. If they are 'niet ontevreden' (not dissatisfied), there is work to do. The concept of being satisfied with what you have is linked to Dutch Calvinist history—avoiding excess and being grateful for sufficiency.
Use 'dik tevreden'
If you want to sound like a native, use 'dik tevreden'. It shows you really have no complaints at all.
Watch the preposition
Remember: satisfied WITH a thing (met), satisfied ABOUT a result (over).

Don't over-exaggerate
In the Netherlands, 'heel tevreden' is a strong compliment. You don't need to say 'fantastisch' every time.

4 질문Yes, but be careful. 'Ik ben tevreden met mijn nieuwe collega' means they are doing a good job. It's professional, not necessarily personal.
It's neutral. You can use it with your boss or your best friend.
Both mean 'very'. 'Heel' is more common in speech, 'erg' is slightly more formal.
