Veelgemaakte fout:
Learners often confuse "satisfactorily" (adverb) with "satisfactory" (adjective) and "satisfied" (adjective for a feeling). For example, they may say *"He did a satisfactory"* instead of "He did the job satisfactorily," or *"I am satisfactorily"* instead of "I am satisfied." Another mistake is using "satisfyingly," which is much less common and usually refers to giving a pleasant feeling, not meeting a standard.
