Lõpuks

Lõpuks is an Estonian adverb meaning "finally" or "in the end." It signals the conclusion of a situation or the final outcome after a sequence of events. The word is common in both spoken and written Estonian and can introduce a conclusion at the start of a clause or appear later in a sentence to emphasize the result. For example: Lõpuks jõudsime kohale.

Lõpuks is derived from the noun lõpp, meaning "end," with an adverbial suffix that forms an adverb indicating temporal culmination.

In usage, lõpuks is often employed to indicate that a long process has reached its end or that a decision has been made after consideration. It is similar in meaning to viimaks, but tends to be more common in everyday language and narrative contexts. It can be contrasted with earlier steps or with more abrupt terms that simply denote finality. See also lõpp, the noun for end.
