loppupuolelta

Loppupuolelta is a Finnish word that translates to "towards the end" or "in the latter part of" in English. It is a common adverbial phrase used to indicate a time or stage that is nearing its conclusion. For instance, one might say "kokous on loppupuolelta" meaning "the meeting is towards its end." Similarly, "illan loppupuolelta" refers to "later in the evening." The phrase can also be applied to other contexts, such as the latter part of a project or a life stage. It conveys a sense of proximity to completion or the final phase. The word is formed by combining "loppu," meaning "end," and "puolelta," which is a partitive plural form of "puoli," meaning "side" or "part." Together, they create a nuanced expression for indicating the concluding period of something. Its usage is flexible and can be found in both spoken and written Finnish, contributing to the descriptive richness of the language when discussing time or progression.
