Questions & Answers about Basta caffè per oggi!
Why use basta here instead of abbastanza for "enough"?
Why is there no il before caffè?
In Italian, you often drop the definite article (the word for "the", like il) when talking about an unspecified, general quantity of a substance. Because you are saying "enough coffee in general," rather than "enough of the specific coffee," you do not need the article here.
Since basta is a verb, what is its subject here?
