unhappy because something is not good enough
Not happy because something is not as good as you wanted or hoped.
사용 패턴：
[someone] is dissatisfied with [something]
자주 하는 실수：
Learners often confuse "dissatisfied" and "unsatisfied." Use "dissatisfied" mainly for a feeling of unhappiness about a situation, service, or result ("dissatisfied customers"). "Unsatisfied" is more often used for needs or conditions that are not fully met ("unsatisfied demand," "unsatisfied hunger"), especially in written or formal English, though there is overlap.

displeased (Slightly more formal and polite; often used for mild or controlled dissatisfaction.)
반의어
satisfied (Direct opposite; feeling that something is good enough or meets expectations.)

content (Opposite in emotional tone; calm and peaceful acceptance, without a wish for more or better.)

Learners sometimes use this general sense when a specific situation is meant. For a one-time event or clear cause (a meal, a service, an exam result), use the more situation-focused sense ("dissatisfied with the service"). Use this broader sense when you mean an ongoing or overall feeling about life or self ("dissatisfied with his life").
