मतलब
Having had enough of a situation.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
The phrase is almost always accompanied by a specific gesture: a flat hand moving horizontally above the head. Without this gesture, the phrase loses half its 'Italian-ness'. In the South, the phrase might be delivered with even more vocal emphasis and facial expressions, often followed by 'Basta!' (Enough!). Using this with a boss is risky, but using it with colleagues is a primary way to build solidarity through 'shared suffering'. You will frequently hear this in Italian talk shows when guests are arguing and one person wants to signal they are done listening.
The 'Ne' Secret
If you want to sound truly native, always use 'ne' even if you mention the object later: 'Ne ho fin sopra i capelli di questo!'
The Gesture
Don't forget the hand gesture! It's as important as the words themselves in Italy.
