Usage notes

Saturar is to supply the maximum whilst saciar is to supply the minimum sufficient to calm or put a stop to some need. You can saciar your hunger by a piece of bread, your thirst by a large glass of water; but when you saturas yourself by food or drink, you risk running into either bad digestion or drunkenness.
