Spanish Word- Suficiente
Author: Johns SmithSpanish Word: Suficiente
English Word: Enough, sufficient
Pronunciation: soo-fee-the-en’tay
Function: adjective
Let’s say that you’re having dinner and you hear a new Spanish companion say something about not having enough money on him or her to pay for the meal, this is what you will usually hear:
Example: No dinero suficiente.
Translation: I don’t have enough money on me.
Another sentence that you might hear the locals say when they talk to each other is “No tienes la estatura suficiente” which means that you’re not tall enough.
