<p>I'm pretty sure that "good enough" is 够好，but I'm not sure if this structure can be extended to all adjectives. </p>

<p>Would the same structure work for all/most adjectives?</p>

<pre><code>Is it good enough? -&gt; 够好吗？
Is he strong enough? -&gt;
Is the horse fast enough? -&gt;
My tea isn't sweet enough. -&gt; 
</code></pre>

<p>Could anyone offer translation for the sentences above?</p>

I'm pretty sure that "good enough" is 够好，but I'm not sure if this structure can be extended to all adjectives.

Would the same structure work for all/most adjectives?

```
Is it good enough? -> 够好吗？
Is he strong enough? ->
Is the horse fast enough? ->
My tea isn't sweet enough. -> 

```

Could anyone offer translation for the sentences above?
