Profi-Tipp

Adjective vs. Noun

Remember: 'content' as an adjective (zufrieden) is always used with a form of 'to be' (e.g., 'I am content'). As a noun (Inhalt), it stands alone or is modified (e.g., 'the content of the box').

Wortursprung

From Latin *contentus* (satisfied), past participle of *continere* (to hold together, contain). The sense of 'material within something' emerged in Middle English.

Verwendungshinweise

As an adjective, 'content' is used predicatively (after a verb like 'be') and takes 'with'. As a noun, it can be uncountable (general sense) or countable (specific items).
