When you're learning Persian at the B1 level, you're moving beyond basic survival phrases. Understanding verbs like «راضی بودن» (to be satisfied) is crucial for expressing personal feelings and opinions.
This verb helps you communicate contentment or pleasure in various situations, whether it's about food, a service, or a decision.
Being able to use «راضی بودن» correctly shows that you can engage in more nuanced conversations and express yourself more fully in Persian.
It's an important step in becoming a more confident and fluent speaker.
Grammar to Know
When using 'راضی بودن' (to be satisfied), the person who is satisfied is the subject of the verb. The thing or person they are satisfied with is introduced by the preposition 'از' (az, from/about).
من از غذای رستوران راضی هستم. (Man az ghazâ-ye restorân râzi hastam.) - I am satisfied with the restaurant's food.
'راضی بودن' is often used with a past participle (e.g., 'کارِ انجام شده' - the work done) to express satisfaction with something that has been completed.
او از کارِ انجام شده راضی بود. (U az kâr-e anjâm shodeh râzi bud.) - He was satisfied with the work that was done.
The verb 'بودن' (budan, to be) conjugates according to the subject, just like any other verb. Make sure to use the correct form.
آیا شما از این وضعیت راضی هستید؟ (Âyâ shomâ az in vaz'iyat râzi hastid?) - Are you satisfied with this situation?
When expressing satisfaction with an action, you can use a gerund (a verbal noun) after 'از'.
آنها از دیدنِ فیلم راضی بودند. (Ânhâ az didan-e film râzi budand.) - They were satisfied with seeing the movie.
'راضی بودن' can also be used in negative sentences to express dissatisfaction. Simply negate the verb 'بودن'.
ما از نتیجه راضی نیستیم. (Mâ az natijeh râzi nistim.) - We are not satisfied with the result.

با وجود تمام مشکلاتی که داشتند، از وضعیت موجود خود کاملاً ___ بودند. (Despite all the problems they had, they were completely ___ with their current situation.)
The context implies satisfaction despite difficulties, making 'راضی' (satisfied) the most fitting choice. 'خشنود' also means pleased but 'راضی' directly aligns with the verb 'راضی بودن'.
او همیشه سعی میکند که همه از تصمیماتش ___ باشند و هیچکس گلهای نداشته باشد. (He always tries to make everyone ___ with his decisions and that no one complains.)
The phrase 'گلهای نداشته باشد' (no one complains) strongly suggests the need for everyone to be 'راضی' (satisfied) with his decisions.
با توجه به تلاشهای فراوانی که برای پروژه انجام دادیم، از نتیجهی نهایی کاملاً ___ نیستم. (Given the extensive efforts we put into the project, I am not completely ___ with the final result.)

آیا شما از خدماتی که شرکت ما ارائه میدهد ___ هستید؟ (Are you ___ with the services our company provides?)
This is a direct question about customer satisfaction with services, hence 'راضی' (satisfied) is the appropriate word.

Which of these best conveys a deep, lasting sense of satisfaction?
The adverb 'کاملاً' (completely) intensifies the satisfaction, suggesting a deep and lasting feeling, which is indicative of C1 proficiency in expressing nuance.
In which sentence does 'راضی بودن' imply a state of contentment despite potential challenges?
The phrase 'با وجود مشکلات فراوان' (despite many problems) highlights contentment in the face of adversity, a nuanced understanding appropriate for C1.
Choose the sentence where 'راضی بودن' expresses approval or acceptance of an outcome.
Here, 'راضی باشد' signifies giving consent or approval, indicating that the speaker's action is contingent on the other person's satisfaction, a C1 level of interpersonal expression.
The sentence 'او حتی با کمترین حقوق هم راضی نیست' (He is not even satisfied with the lowest salary) implies that he is easily pleased.
This statement is false. The sentence implies the opposite: he is difficult to please, as even the lowest salary doesn't satisfy him. This requires careful interpretation of 'حتی' (even) and 'نیست' (is not).
If someone says 'من کاملاً از نحوه برگزاری کنفرانس راضی بودم' (I was completely satisfied with how the conference was held), it suggests there were some minor issues but overall it was good.
This is false. 'کاملاً راضی بودم' means 'I was completely satisfied,' implying no significant issues or dissatisfaction. The C1 level requires understanding the absoluteness of 'کاملاً'.
When a parent says 'از عملکرد پسرم در مدرسه راضی هستم' (I am satisfied with my son's performance at school), it can convey pride and approval.
This is true. In this context, 'راضی هستم' expresses approval and often pride in an achievement, which is a common and nuanced use of the verb at C1 level.
