How do you say “full” in German?

In order to express not desiring or being able to ingest more food, the German word for “full” is satt. This word is related to the English “sated” and thus also to “insatiable” and “satisfaction”.

Surprisingly, it is also related to the English “sad”, in the sense of “heavy” or “weary”.

The word satt can also be used when expressing being “fed up” with a situation.

Voll

Ich bin satt is the clearest way to say you have eaten enough. Voll can mean drunk, but in a clear food context it is also used familiarly or jokingly to mean stuffed. Context matters.
