Schliesslich

Schliesslich is a German adverb and conjunction that translates to "finally," "eventually," or "ultimately" in English. It often indicates the conclusion of a process, a series of events, or a line of reasoning. As an adverb, it can describe an action that happens at the end, for example, "Er kam schliesslich doch noch an" meaning "He finally arrived after all." It suggests a sense of delay or a resolution after some anticipation.

When used as a conjunction, schliesslich can introduce a concluding statement or a logical consequence. For instance, "Es hat lange gedauert, aber schliesslich haben wir eine Lösung gefunden" translates to "It took a long time, but eventually we found a solution." In this context, it links a preceding situation or effort to its final outcome. It can also be used to present a final argument or point, similar to "after all" or "in the end." The precise nuance can depend on the surrounding sentence structure and context, but the core idea remains that of reaching an end point or a final result.
