What does it mean when they say? (Enough is enough)

Thanks all

Hello Matilda

It means "This must cease – I won't tolerate any more of this!".

Hello
I think enough is enough means enough but its emphasized and you say it when you cant tolerate any more

[matilda]

thanks all

i think my teacher uses this in the wrong place. because he uses this in almost every sentence, and i thought it may have a strong meaning

Hello Matilda

You're right – you usually say it when you want to be forcible or assertive.

It can also be used humorously (as mock-assertiveness).
