I don't want to hear about anymore options

Question

Car dealer etc...

Ya está bien de opciones. Short and to the point.

That's good already, the options. Why de there and not las?

Ya está bien las opciones.

Heard in a videogame. Gracias.

Answer 1

Spanish requires prepositions to link many types of words where English doesn't. "Ya está bien" is an impersonal construction; if you added "las opciones", it would become the subject, and then the whole thing would make no sense (and the verb should changed to "están" anyway). As Julián said, "opciones" is complementing "bien", and this requires a preposition like "de". Unlike him, however, I prefer "de" to "con".

Answer 2

Because "de" is connecting "about options" with what is enough.

A more natural way to say this is "Ya basta con las opciones."

Remember, it´s impossible to insult a car salesman, so you need to very direct.

And "Ya está bien las opciones" should be "están."
