I just have some other questions dealing with satisfaction:
What is the difference between "dissatisfied" and "unsatisfied"?
And what about "dissatisfactory" and "unsatisfactory", "dissatisfying" and "unsatisfying"?
Are there any differences at all? |
I am always
unsatisfied with my English as there is always something to improve= my English is good as for non-native speaker but I want more then good, I am dissatisfied.
I am
dissatisfied with my level of Italian, as I have no time to learn and I do not know any simple words at all.
unsatisfacotry= it doesn't meet the minimum requirements
dissatisfactory= it doesn't meet the minimum requirements at all
unsatisfying=my English is so, it could be better and I want it to be so
dissatisfying- my Italian is so, it sucks
un=not quite, not completely
dis=not at all, lack of
...tory=about minimum criteria
...ing=about the whole satisfaction or lack of it
Notice you can not say about people (now I am talking about endings) they are ...ing or ....tory but they are always ....ed
I know it all is confusing but I hope it is less so now
