mjaftueshëm

Mjaftueshëm is an Albanian adjective and adverb meaning "sufficient" or "enough." It is used to indicate that a quantity, degree, or condition meets a required or satisfactory level. The term can be used predicatively with the verb to be (for example, është mjaftueshëm) or attributively before a noun (for example, një sasi e mjaftueshme e bukës).

Grammatical notes and forms are driven by gender and number with the noun they modify. The masculine singular form is i mjaftueshëm, while the feminine singular form is e mjaftueshme; in many constructions the adjective agrees with the noun it describes. In practice, mjaftueshëm appears in formal or written Albanian and often contrasts with expressions of insufficiency formed by negation (nuk është mjaftueshëm).

Originatively, mjaftueshëm is derived from the base mjaft, meaning “enough,” with the addition of a suffix that yields an adjective able to express sufficiency. The word can function in contexts ranging from everyday speech to policy or evaluative language, where adequacy or meeting standards is being assessed.

Examples of use include: “Është mjaftueshëm për të filluar” (It is sufficient to begin), and “Nuk është mjaftueshëm për standardet” (It is not sufficient for the standards). Another common construction is “një sasi e mjaftueshme e ushqimit” (a sufficient amount of food).
