Tyydytyä
Tyydytyä is a Finnish verb meaning to be content or satisfied, or to content oneself with something. It expresses a sense of acceptance or sufficiency rather than active pursuit of more. The term can be used in both everyday and more formal or literary contexts, often describing a state of internal satisfaction with a situation, result, or set of circumstances. It is related to the broader concept of satisfaction but is distinct from more explicit transitive verbs that ask someone or something to satisfy needs.
Etymology and related forms: Tyydytyä derives from the stem tyydy-, linked to the noun tyydytys, meaning satisfaction.
Usage notes: Tyydytyä is predominantly intransitive and operates with complements that indicate what one is content
