    Would genug be really used in this tone? I thought it was more like having enough time, not as an exclamation

        If you yell "enough!" because someone bothers you and gets on your nerves, the German equivalent would be "genug jetzt!" or "es reicht!" :-)

          This is the 1st time I've ever come across "Genug!"

            I answered with Basta! as a joke, and it was marked as correct. Is that actually correct in german?

              Doesn't Reicht also mean enough?

                Reicht does also mean enough but this is used in this way telling somebody to stop being noisy, jumping, yelling ,etc.
