EN: to be satisfied; to be met (a need)
This is the feeling when your sweldo finally comes and you can pay all your bills. Your needs have been 'masapatan'. It's when you're looking for a specific item on Shopee, and you finally find one that meets all your criteria (price, reviews, specs). That 'sakto lang' or 'this will do' feeling, but in verb form. It's about meeting a requirement or a need, not necessarily about being overjoyed, but about being sufficient.
ma- + sapat + -an (locative/benefactive verb affix).
Implies sufficiency or meeting a standard. 'Masapatan ang pangangailangan' (to meet the needs).
