  What it means

  Literally “enough of this good thing.” Used ironically to say enough is enough — when something pleasant has gone on too long and become excessive, or simply to call a halt to anything.

  Vocabulary

  • dość — enough
  • tego — of this (genitive of 'to')
  • dobrego — of the good thing (genitive of 'dobre')

  Grammar note

  'Dość' takes the genitive — 'tego dobrego' is genitive, meaning 'enough of this good thing'.

  Cultural context

  The irony is built in — calling something 'dobre' (good) while saying there's too much of it. Often used with a sigh of resignation.
