Note:

Tanto può essere principalmente usato come aggettivo, pronome o avverbio. - Come aggettivo e come pronome, si traduce con much davanti o al posto di nomi non numerabili ( tanto vino = much wine; tanto denaro = much money; ne hai bevuto tanto? = have you drunk much (of it)?) e many davanti o al posto di sostantivi plurali ( tanti nemici = many enemies; ce ne sono tanti = there are many (of them)). Si noti che much e many sono preferibilmente usati in frasi negative e interrogative, mentre in frasi affermative sono spesso sostituiti da a lot (of), lots (of) (d'uso colloquiale, davanti a nomi numerabili plurali), plenty (of), a great deal (of): tante persone = a lot of people; guadagno tanto = I earn a lot. - Come avverbio, tanto si usa dopo un verbo, e in tal caso si traduce very much o a lot in frase affermativa e much in frase negativa e interrogativa (spero tanto che... = I hope very much that...; ho studiato tanto = I studied a lot; non bevo mai tanto = I never drink much; ha bevuto tanto? = did he drink much?); quando precede un altro avverbio o un aggettivo, si traduce con so o such (è tanto veloce che... = he is so fast that...; è una studentessa tanto intelligente! = she's such an intelligent student!), ma se tale avverbio o aggettivo è al comparativo, tanto si rende con much ( tanto più presto = much sooner; tanto più veloce = much faster). - Per gli altri usi di tanto e gli esempi relativi, si veda la voce qui sotto

Recuerda que nunca puedes usar enough cuando bastante significa muy: Este libro es bastante (muy) interesante. This book is very interesting. Hace bastante calor. It's very hot.
2) Cuando quieres decir abundante, puedes emplear la palabra quite, pero también:
fairly: bastante pero no suficiente
pretty: más o mejor de lo esperado (informal)
rather: más o mejor de lo esperado (formal)
En una escala de nada a muy, el orden sería: not-fairly-quite-rather/pretty-very.
Quite se coloca delante de a/an + sustantivo
pretty y fairly entre a/an y el sustantivo, y rather en ambas posiciones: It's quite/ rather a nice day today o it's a pretty/fairly/rather nice day today. Hoy es un día bastante agradable.
En la comparación sólo puedes emplear rather: It's rather warmer today. Hoy hace bastante más calor.
Con un verbo sólo podemos usar quite o rather: I rather/ quite liked it. Me gustó bastante.

8 ἤνυστρον

ἤνυστρον

Grammatical information: n.

Meaning: `the fourth stomach of ruminants, rennet-stomach'; also a dish (Ar., Arist.);

Other forms: ἐν- (LXX)

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]

Etymology: The form with ἐν- after ἔντερα, ἐγκοίλια (but it is very late)? From ἤνυστρον, if from *Ϝήνυστρον, differs a Northgerman. word for `rennet-stomach', e. g. Norw. dial. vinstr f. only as regards the quantity of the first syllable and the colour of the intermediate vowel; Gr. - υ- may be analogical after ὑστέρα. As basis we could assume IE *u̯ē̆nes-tro-, - trā-. Further there is, with a different suffix, OHG wanast ` Wanst', also `the first stomch of ruminants', Skt. vaniṣṭhú- m. etwa `entrail' (used as an offering). - Lidén KZ 61, 19ff. with criticism of other views. - A digamma is uncertain. Connection with Germanic words seems most improbable, as with Sanskrit (the forms are not well comparable). I think the ending in - στρον is Pre-Greek (Beekes. Pre-Greek, Suffixes s.v. - στρ-). Fur. 258 ν. 42 points to the variation ε\/η for which he gives parallels.
