Had enough? (Dutch/German)

I am Brazilian and I have lived in Holland for four years. I remember one of my first incursions in the language. After dinner, my friends asked me whether I wanted something more to eat. Since I spoke German, I thought that the German word satt would be helpful. So, I just said: Dank je, ik ben 'satt', meaning: 'Thank you, I had enough'. But the problem is that the German satt sounds very much like the Dutch zat which means 'drunken'.
