It is widely used in formal, administrative, legal, and professional contexts to indicate completion. Examples: El projecte ha finalitzat. La reunió està finalitzada.

Relation to related terms: The term is closely linked to finalització, the noun for the act of finishing, and to the verb finalitzar, from which it is derived. It is the standard Catalan equivalent of the Spanish finalizado, though usage and nuance may vary between dialects and contexts. In everyday Catalan, finalitzat helps convey that a task, process, or outcome has reached its conclusion in a precise and formal manner.
