Grammar
"an enough of a" and "adequate"
I'm Finnish and I'm translating a verse in Finnish, "Olet riittävä..." (and so on)
It means "You are an enough of a...", but it also means "You are an adequate..."
I like the first translation, but does it also include the idea of adequacy?

'Enough' entails 'adequacy', but I am not sure that the phrase fits grammatically into the translated text. When asking, you should present enough of the context to ensure adequate evaluation.

The minimun required is the complete Finnish sentence for us to be able to advise you satisfactorily. An enough of a sounds ungrammatical to my ear. The article (an) is wrong.
