Having an abundance of a resource.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
In Russia, it is culturally important to provide more food than guests can eat. Using 'за глаза хватит' is a way for a host to signal that they have fulfilled this duty. During times of deficit in the USSR, the phrase took on a more precious meaning. Having something 'za glaza' was a sign of great luck or good connections. Russian tech reviewers use this phrase constantly to describe hardware specs, showing how traditional idioms adapt to modern life. When planning supplies for a trip to the 'dacha' (summer house), this phrase is used to ensure no one has to drive back to the city for essentials.
Use for Reassurance

Don't use for people
Avoid saying 'You are za glaza khvatit' for a person's character; it's for things you can measure.
