满

About

The word 不满 is formed by directly combining two conceptual building blocks: the first character 不, meaning "not", acts as a negation, and the second character 满, meaning "full" or "satisfied", represents a state of contentment or completeness. When fused, these characters do not merely list their meanings but interact to create a new, unified concept, the specific emotional state of "dissatisfaction" or "discontent". It is a conceptual compound, where the whole meaning emerges from the negation of the condition of being full or satisfied.
