Enough in Spanish: Suficiente...mente?

Both mean ENOUGH. Yep!

So how do you know which one to use?

Don't panic, it's all about the word after:

Suficientemente

What's and adjective? it's a quality, a state, a characteristic.

Suficientemente bueno - good enough

Suficientemente bien - well enough

Estoy suficientemente preparado - I'm ready enough.

Laura es suficientemente rápido - Laura is fast enough.

Estamos suficientemente cansados como para ir a casa - We're tired enough to go home.

You see you can add "como para + infinitive" and that would mean "to do...":

¿Estás suficientemente bien para ir de senderismo? - Are you well enough to go hiking?

The verb here will be an action.

So, the combination will express to do something enough (frequently enough or intensely enough).

¿Corres suficiente para ganar? - Do you run enough to win?

A noun is a person, a thing, an animal or a concept.

We'll use these two together to talk about amount of something.

Because we have a noun, suficiente will be suficienteS when the noun is plural.

¿Tienes suficiente pan? ¿Suficientes platos? - Do you have enough bread? enough plates?

No tengo suficiente paciencia -I don't have enough patience.

No hay suficientes sillas para la fiesta - There are not enough chairs for the party.

Fill in the gaps with suficiente, suficientes (plural) and suficientemente.
