Usage Note

Satisfactorio sits one register above suficiente or aceptable — it implies something meets or exceeds expectations, often used in formal evaluations, reports, or medical updates (evolución satisfactoria — 'satisfactory progress'). The adverb satisfactoriamente is the formal written form; in speech Spaniards often reach for bien or de manera satisfactoria instead.

Examples

"Los resultados fueron muy satisfactorios."
