How do I express "enough" in Mandarin...?
Today I wanted to tell someone "I don't have enough time", but I wasn't sure how to say it in Mandarin. Last week I also struggled to express "I don't have enough work"...

So how can I use 'enough' in my sentences when speaking Mandarin?

Answer

It depends on how you use enough in English. As the example of "I don't have enough ...", I think it may be translated into Chinese as "我没有足够的……了". But I suggest you had better consider the sentence in the text.
