tillräcka

Tillräcka is a Swedish verb that translates to "suffice" or "be enough" in English. It is used to indicate that something is sufficient for a particular purpose or meets a certain requirement. The word can be used in various contexts, from everyday situations to more formal or technical discussions.

For example, one might say "Pengarna räcker tillräcka för att köpa maten," meaning "The money suffices to buy the food." Here, "tillräcka" emphasizes that the amount of money is adequate for the intended purchase. In a different context, "Denna information räcker inte tillräcka för ett beslut," which translates to "This information does not suffice for a decision," indicating that the provided information is insufficient to make a judgment.

The verb is derived from the root "räcka," which means "to reach" or "to be long enough." The prefix "till-" often denotes completion or attainment. Therefore, "tillräcka" carries the connotation of reaching a satisfactory level or quantity. It is a relatively common word in the Swedish language, used to express adequacy and sufficiency.
