also satisfaction right?
Hmm, no, I wouldn’t say that’s a thing.
Do you have a specific context in mind?
Would you not say that the use of the first sense in a metaphorical sense translates as satisfaction ? https://www.dwds.de/wb/S%C3%A4ttigung?o=s%C3%A4ttigung#d-1-1
Hmm, I guess in a metaphorical sense yes, but this is REALLY rare and to me, the soul of “Sättigung” is on saturation. You can be full but not satisfied or nourished.
“satisfaction” sounds very positive to me, Sättigung is neutral and dry. In some niche context, you might find them as translations for each other but I would advise against thinking of them as a pair.
