Unzufrieden is an adjective that describes a state of dissatisfaction or discontent. It is formed by adding the prefix 'un-' (meaning 'not') to 'zufrieden' (satisfied), making it a common example of German word formation through negation. It is often used with the verb 'sein' (to be) to describe a person's emotional state, but can also modify nouns directly. Unlike some adjectives, it does not change form when used predicatively (e.g., 'Ich bin unzufrieden') versus attributively (e.g., 'ein unzufriedener Kunde'). It is a frequently used word in everyday German to express mild to strong dissatisfaction.
