satte

Satte is a term used in the German language with multiple senses. As an attributive adjective, satte means "substantial" or "plentiful" and is used before feminine singular or neuter nouns with the definite article, for example: "eine satte Summe" (a substantial amount). The sense conveys abundance, sufficiency, or considerable scale. It can describe quantities, prices, or other measures and shares the broader semantic field of fullness or richness. When referring to appetite, the related adjective "satt" denotes fullness after eating; "satte" is not used in that sense.

The word derives from Old High German sattu or satt and belongs to the set of Germanic adjectives expressing sufficiency. In modern German it remains common in formal and colloquial contexts, often with a nuance of emphasis, implying that something is more than merely adequate.

As a proper noun, "Satte" occurs less commonly but may appear as a place-name element or surname in German-speaking regions. There is no widely recognized independent city named simply "Satte," but the form can appear in longer toponyms and family names. In encyclopedic use, "Satte" is primarily treated as an ordinary adjective, with attention to its context to determine whether it denotes abundance, cost, or a proper name.
