Hello, teachers!!

Oh, Steve is honest enough, I guess.

I think that "enough" in the above sentence means "passably: to a moderate or satisfactory extent." Is this definitely decided by the context?

Can you interpret the above "enough" in the meaning of "to the necessary extent: to an extent that is as much as is needed"?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Learner12,

I think both your interpretations are correct. I would say that the first interpretation is the most plausible.
