enough
satis (a sufficient measure, without any accessory reference): affatim; abunde (with the accessory notion of rather too much than too little; abunde, like ἄλες, with an objective and absolute reference whereas affatim, like ἀφθόνως, in a subjective and relative sense): abundantly enough, or enough and more than enough, affatim satis; satis et affatim prorsus. More than enough, abunde: satis superque. To be enough, satis esse, sufficere [SYN. in SUFFICE]. This is enough for me, aliquid satis habeo: sufficit mihi aliquid: this will be evidence enough, hoc satis testimonium erit. To have enough, satis habere; satiatum esse (to be satiated). He has enough for his whole life, in totam vitam ei satis est. But enough of this, sed satis de hoc; sed satis jam verborum est; sed haec hactenus; sed finis sit; nolo plura dicere. But enough of this, and perhaps too much, sed haec satis multa, vel plura potius quam necesse fuit: enough! enough! heus tu manum de tabula! (= stop, do! Cic.).
