Lõppkandidaati

Lõppkandidaati is an Estonian term that translates to "final candidate" or "ultimate contender." It is used in various contexts to denote the person or entity that has advanced to the final stage of a selection process, competition, or election. This signifies that they have successfully passed through initial screening, elimination rounds, or preliminary stages and are now among the very few remaining individuals vying for a specific position, award, or outcome.

The term implies a process of rigorous evaluation where many have been considered and eliminated. The lõppkandidaati represents the peak of this selection, often possessing the most desirable or suitable qualifications, merits, or support among all who entered the competition. The final decision or outcome is typically made from this limited pool of lõppkandidaati.

In political elections, for instance, the lõppkandidaati refers to the candidates who remain on the ballot after primaries or other pre-election contests. In job applications, it might describe the applicants who have reached the final interview stage. Similarly, in sports or other competitive fields, the lõppkandidaati are those who have reached the championship round or the final decisive event. The emergence of a lõppkandidaati marks a significant point in any process where a definitive choice needs to be made from a group of contenders.
