Question Far not enough
Hi there. Is it OK to say, "Ten minutes is far not enough to present all concepts of my thesis" (when it is a formal presentation)?

Thanks!
Nyggus

If by 'far', you mean 'really', then no, it isn't natural, Nyggus.

"Ten minutes is really not enough to present all concepts of my thesis."

"Far too short" also works.

I would also put "the" before "concepts".

Is "far from enough" OK?
