That’s enough is when you are talking about one specific thing. For example, someone is pouring wine into your cup and you say, “ok that’s enough.”
“Enough is enough” is a GENERAL statement we make when we are tired of something and want it to stop. Usually out of frustration. For example, “I hate my job. Enough is enough!! I am going to quit tomorrow.”

that's enough- sufficient or to express irritation.
A exemple of sufficient is when a person is giving you a lot of food but you want a little you say that's enough, i just want a little.
A example of expressing irritation is when you are fighting with someone you say enough is enough, if you continue to fight I'm going to leave.

They could be but not always.
For example, if two kids are fighting their mom could yell “that’s enough“ or “enough is enough”. Both work in this case and are synonyms.

@BreanneSaldivar Thanks, Miss! But would both expressions serve in a situation where I ask a person to stop talking?
- Inglés (US)
Also, 'that's enough' can sometimes sound a little rude or bossy. If someone is serving you too much food, you can soften it be saying 'that's enough, thank you.'

@Dan_L yes. But “that’s enough” would probably be better in that case because you are addressing the specific person. You can be direct with them by looking at them and saying “that’s enough.” Where as “Enough is enough” is a general statement and they could think you are talking about the radio or the bad weather or anything else that may be going on at the same time as they are talking.
