Eindresultaat

Eindresultaat is a Dutch noun used to denote the final outcome or result after the completion of a process, project, competition, or calculation. The word is a compound of eind (end) and resultaat (result), and it is commonly used in formal and informal language to refer to what is ultimately achieved or decided.

The eindresultaat can refer to a wide range of final outcomes. In sports and competitions it often means the final score or ranking. In project management and business, it describes the completed deliverables, the total costs, and the overall impact of an effort. In research and testing, it denotes the final data, conclusions, or measured effects after analysis. In elections and negotiations, it is the conclusive tally or settlement that follows the process.

Usage is flexible: eindresultaat can function as the subject of a sentence (Het eindresultaat is positief) or as the object (We vergelijken het eindresultaat met de plannen). The term emphasizes the definitive nature of what has been achieved, rather than intermediate steps or ongoing processes. Related terms include einduitkomst and resultaat, which are sometimes interchangeable but can carry subtle nuances about timing or emphasis.
