How would you translate from Spanish to English...?

English native speakers, I would like to know the English translation of the Spanish verb 'conformar' but in this context: "La gente se conforma con muy poco." or "驴Con tan poco te conformas?".



Thanks in advance! (:How would you translate from Spanish to English...?
to "settle", not to expect too much, good enough



People are satisfied with very little. La gente se conforma con muy poco.

People "settle" for very little.



You are "satisfied" with so little? You "settle" for so little? 驴Con tan poco te conformas?

Is that "sufficient enough"?
conformarse = to be satisfied with (something)

conformar = to satisfy



In your sentence, you are using "conformarse".

It translates to: "The people are satisfied with very little."

the second one translates to: "With how much are you satisfied?" (not really a logical sentence)How would you translate from Spanish to English...?
it means "people are satisfied with very little." thats how you would say it in englishHow would you translate from Spanish to English...?
1.) People are satisfied with very little 2.)With so little you settle
conformar - to conform. To make oneself like one's peers.
