### 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*.

{{item:1126334}}

{{item:1126335}}

**Atât** alone means *that's all*; **atât de** + adjective means *so*.

{{item:1126338}}

{{item:1126340}}

### Roughly and at least

**Cam** is the everyday *about*; **aproximativ** is the precise, written one. **Cam** also softens an adjective: *cam departe* — rather far.

{{item:1126345}}

{{item:1126346}}

{{item:1126352}}

### 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*.
