Elég

elég (Hungarian: /ˈɛleːɡ/) is a common Hungarian word meaning "enough" or "sufficient". It functions primarily as an adverb and an adjective and is frequently used as a particle or interjection in everyday speech.

As an adjective or predicative element, elég indicates that the quantity or degree of something meets a required or satisfactory level: "Elég pénz van" ("There is enough money") or "Ez elég" ("This is enough"). As an adverb it modifies verbs or adjectives to mean "sufficiently" or, in some contexts, "quite": "Elég jól" ("well enough").

Elég can be negated to form "nem elég" ("not enough"). An emphatic or imperative use appears in phrases such as "Elég!" or "Elég volt!" meaning "Enough!" or "That's enough!" A related form, eléggé, functions as an adverb meaning "rather" or "quite" and is used to strengthen or qualify statements (e.g., "eléggé bonyolult" — "rather complicated").

Etymology traces the word to earlier stages of Hungarian; its deeper origin is not clearly established. Elég is a frequent and versatile element of colloquial and formal Hungarian, appearing across registers from casual conversation to written texts.
