If something is satiny, it feels and looks a bit like satin cloth: smooth, a little shiny, and soft when you touch it. Skin, a dress, a flower , even paint can be satiny. It is a gentle, rather pretty word — more about feel and light than about being fancy. It does not mean the thing is made of satin; it means it reminds you of satin. Softer than shiny, which can be hard and bright like plastic or metal. People use it for nice surfaces, not for a person’s character.
如緞的、緞面般光滑柔軟的
組成satin + -y (“like satin”).
