Abstract

How one expresses satisfaction sometimes depends on what one is talking about. For example one might say Totemo yokatta desu ‘it was very good’ in talking about a trip, concert, hotel, or the like, but if one is talking about food or books/movies, one would probably say Totemo oishikatta desu ‘it was delicious’ or Totemo omoshirokatta desu ‘it was interesting,’ respectively. The following are some common ways of expressing one’s satisfaction.
