"In" as in "inadequate," meaning less than adequate or lacking.
A prefix is a word part added to the beginning of a base word to create a new word with a different meaning. In the case of "acceptable," the prefix "ac-" comes from Latin meaning "to" or "toward," while the base word "cept" comes from Latin meaning "to take." Together, they create the word "acceptable," meaning suitable or satisfactory.
No, the correct way to say it is "You are satisfactory" or "You are satisfactory to me." The preposition "to" is needed to show that you are stating your opinion on the other person's satisfaction.
The correct spelling is satisfactory (acceptable, suitable).
The stressed syllable of "satisfactory" is the third syllable, which is "fac."
