Using this phrase in vain/stress

Can I use this phrase in situations like, "That's it! I've had enough!" Or would ça suffit be more appropriate here?

Hi Aayushi,

In the context of the lesson, I think no to your proposal.      Why?  The lesson is not taking a "fed-up" or "cheesed-off" sense, but more a sense of relief/achievement that an objective has been met.

To create a sense of being "sick and tired" about a situation then "ça suffit" would be appropriate.

Bonne continuation,

Jim

Or for  ‘that’s it ! I’ve had enough !‘ (annoyed/exasperated with someone/something)  eg a behaviour,  ‘C’est tout ! J’en ai marre ! ‘ (or ‘Il y en a marre’ or ‘c’est marre’),  are ‘everyday’ French expressions (populaire / familier) that translate closely.
