How much?
| word | meaning | example |
|---|---|---|
| destul | enough | Am destul timp. |
| atât | so much, that much | Atât de mult! |
| un pic | a little, a bit | un pic de apă |
| cam | about, roughly; rather | cam o oră |
| aproximativ | approximately | aproximativ cincizeci de lei |
| măcar | at least | măcar o oră |
Destul agrees with its noun like mult: destul timp, destui bani, destule cărți.
| I have enough time. | Am destul timp. |
| I don't have enough money. | Nu am destui bani. |
Atât alone means that's all; atât de + adjective means so.
| Is that all? — Yes, that's all. | Atât? — Da, atât. |
| It costs so little! | Costă atât de puțin! |
Roughly and at least
Cam is the everyday about; aproximativ is the precise, written one. Cam also softens an adjective: cam departe — rather far.
| I have about a hundred lei. | Am cam o sută de lei. |
| It's rather far. | Este cam departe. |
| I want to sleep for at least an hour. | Vreau să dorm măcar o oră. |
Quite, at least, more than, barely
Destul de + adjective is quite / rather (destul de bun) — without de, destul means enough. Cel puțin is at least with a number; mai mult de is more than with a number. Abia means only just or barely.
| The movie is quite good. | Filmul este destul de bun. |
| I have at least three books. | Am cel puțin trei cărți. |
| I waited more than an hour. | Am așteptat mai mult de o oră. |
| I've only just got home. | Abia am ajuns acasă. |
