Loppuosan is the genitive form of loppuosa, a Finnish noun meaning the final part or remaining portion of something. The term is used in everyday Finnish to refer to the portion of a quantity, a payment, or a sequence that remains to be completed after other parts have been settled. In financial contexts, loppuosan maksaminen refers to paying the final installment or balance of a loan or purchase, and in contracts or project work it can denote the final payment due upon completion.

Etymology and form: Loppuosan is formed from loppu (end) and osa (part). The base noun loppuosa denotes the ending part, and its genitive singular form is loppuosan. The corresponding nominative plural is loppuosat, with genitive plural loppuosien.

Grammatical notes: Loppuosan is a noun in genitive singular, used to modify another noun or to form noun phrases indicating possession or relation, such as loppuosan määrä or loppuosan maksuajat. It is not a standalone verb or adjective; its function is to denote the final portion within a larger whole.
