finalizan

Finalizan is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb finalizar. It translates as “they finish” or “you all finish” depending on the regional form of address (ustedes or vosotros). The verb means to bring something to an end, to complete, or to finalize, typically with an implication of reaching a formal or deliberate conclusion.

Finalization of a process or document is a common sense in which finalizar is used. The term is derived from final, combined with the -izar suffix to form a regular -ar verb. It appears in everyday speech as well as in technical, legal, and administrative language, where it often signals completion according to plan.

Grammatical notes: finalizar is a regular -ar verb. Present tense forms include: yo finalizo, tú finalizas, él/ella/usted finaliza, nosotros finalizamos, vosotros finalizáis, ellos/ellas/ustedes finalizan.

Usage examples: “Las obras finalizan en julio.” “El contrato finaliza a fin de mes.” “Las negociaciones finalizan tras la firma.” In many contexts, finalizar is close in meaning to concluir or terminar, but it can carry a nuance of formal completion or validation for records, approvals, or releases.
