GENERAL INFO

Suffit means "is enough" or "suffices." It is the 3rd person singular conjugation (il/elle/on) of the verb *suffire* (to be enough).

USAGE

It's commonly used in "Il suffit de + infinitive" meaning "It's enough to..." or "You just have to...".

For example, "Il suffit de demander." (You just have to ask.) Also, "Ça suffit !" means "That's enough!"

TRAPS

Remember suffit is only for "il/elle/on." Don't confuse it with "suffis" (for *je/tu*). Also, the common construction is "Il suffit de," not "à."
