Lõppkohad

Lõppkohad are places where something ends or finishes. The term is used to describe end points in various contexts, including physical locations, processes, and abstract constructs. The plural lõppkohad refers to multiple endpoints.

In transportation and logistics, lõppkohad denote the final stops or termini of routes, such as the last station on a bus or train line. They function as the points where services begin or conclude and are often used in planning and timetable documentation. The concept is closely related to the word terminus, which is commonly used in transport discourse in many languages.

In mathematics and geometry, lõppkohad are the end points of objects like line segments or curves. For example, a line segment AB has two lõppkohad, A and B. End points help define the shape and boundaries of geometric figures and are essential in operations such as drawing, computing length, and applying algorithms to curves and surfaces.

In planning, surveying, and data analysis, lõppkohad can refer to the ultimate destinations of projects or the boundary points of time intervals or measurement ranges. Identifying end points is important for defining scope, setting milestones, and interpreting results.

Language usage notes: lõppkoht is the general term for an end point, while sihtkoht often emphasizes a destination or goal, and terminus is frequently used in technical contexts such as transport. See also related concepts such as end point, boundary, and terminus.
