Thanks, I wonder is this related to Spanish “bastante”?

English Translation

You are to stay here.

It’s most likely directly taken from Italian Basta, which has the exact meaning described in that dict.cc entry.

It’s an essential word for every Italian parent with small children :joy:.

The Spanish also say ‘basta’
