how to say “satisfaction” in Hebrew
Yesterday we had the word for supplier or provider, סַפָּק (sah-PAHK).
The “ah-AH” vowel scheme of that word is common among professional terms. For example, a carpenter is a נַגָּר (nah-GAHR), one of the words for a butcher is קַצָּב (kah-TSAHV), etc.
סַפָּק derives from the פיעל (pee-EHL) verb to provide or to satisfy – לְסַפֵּק (leh-sah-PEHK). So satisfaction is סִפּוּק (see-POOK).
For example, אֲנִי מְקַבֵּל הַרְבֶּה סיפוק מֵהָעֲבוֹדָה שֶׁלֵּי (ah-NEE meh-kah-BEHL hahr-BEH see-POOK meh-hah-ah-voh-DAH sheh-LEE) – I get a lot of satisfaction from my work.
