Using “enough”

Enough is enough! 

Too much is excess! It is more than you need. But enough is the right amount. 👌

Enough is “suficiente”, this is similar to English’s “sufficient”. 

By the way “enough is enough” is a great expression. It means “no more will be tolerated”. In Spanish “¡basta!” or “¡ya!” is a great translation.
