够辣 (gòu là) is an adjective meaning 'spicy enough'—literally 'enough + spicy'. The character 够 expresses sufficiency or adequacy, while 辣 means 'spicy' (referring to the pungent heat of chilies or Sichuan peppercorns). Together, they describe food that reaches a desired level of spiciness—not too mild, not overwhelmingly hot, but just right for the speaker’s preference.

This phrase is commonly used in casual speech when ordering food, giving feedback on dishes, or describing personal tolerance. It can also be used figuratively to mean 'bold enough' or 'daring enough', especially in informal contexts like describing fashion choices or behavior—but this usage is less common and relies heavily on tone and context. It’s rarely used in formal writing or polite requests; instead, it appears in lively, expressive conversation among friends or in food reviews.
