bastar

To be enough or sufficient — one of the most common verbs for expressing sufficiency, used impersonally: basta con + infinitive/noun, or in the fixed exclamation ¡basta! ("that's enough!" / "stop!"). Also common as ¡basta ya! to demand something stop immediately.

• Con una llamada basta. — One phone call is enough.
• ¡Basta ya de mentiras! — Enough with the lies already!
• Basta con seguir las instrucciones. — It's enough to just follow the instructions.

Bastar is almost always used in the third person (basta, bastan, bastaba) since its subject is normally the thing that is sufficient, not a person — "yo basto" is grammatically possible but essentially never what a learner means to say.

• politics ¡Basta Ya! — A Spanish civic platform founded in late 1999 against ETA terrorism and in defense of civil liberties, which won the European Parliament's Sakharov Prize in 2000.
