"Kommittén har inte tillräckligt med medlemmar."

Translation: The committee does not have enough members.

[Vedun]

Why is med used here?

[Lundgren8]

In Swedish you have ’enough with something’.

[Mattaes]

How would one say: "I've had enough of something." ?

[Zmrzlina]

"Jag har fått nog av..."

[Vithralas]

Is it the same to say "Jag har fått nog av" or "Jag har tillräckligt med"? I mean, are the two options exactly the same? Can they be used any of them at any moment? Or do you use one or another in different situations?

[devalanteriel]

No, they're very different.

• jag har fått nog av means that you've had enough in an "enough is enough!" sense, so you're upset because you've experienced too much of something.
• jag har tillräckligt med means you have acquired enough of something to be content.

[Helmut83]

Always? Is this a general rule?

[devalanteriel]

Pretty much yes, unless you add a quantifier.

[Patrick889093]

Then why isn't the committee does not have enough with members not correct?

[devalanteriel]

Because Lundgren answered about Swedish, and English doesn't work that way.

[Jorge56864]

Could it be also "Kommittén räcker inte medlemmar"?

[devalanteriel]

No, räcka means "suffice", so that means "the committee suffices not members".

[DigestAntarctic]

I was wondering where that accented e would come in.

[DanielAndre0]

In English you can say: "The committe have, the government have etc...," not in American English, but the option should be there in the answer!!!

[Bobod3]

I understand where you're coming from, but I think in this case we're talking about the committee as more of an entity or a unit which doesn't contain enough members. And that's why we're using the singular form of the verb 'to be'.

Although if the sentence went something like 'The committee has reached a decision', then I feel like we could easily replace has with have and the sentence would sound great.

P.S. Don't get mad about the downvotes. It's a dog-eat-dog world here on Duolingo ;)
