Cultural Note
Contento describes a lighter, more immediate happiness than 'feliz,' which is deeper and more permanent. In everyday relationship conversation, 'estoy contento/a contigo' (I'm happy with you) is warm and reassuring. It's one of the first emotional adjectives taught to Spanish learners.
