lõppkoha

Lõppkoha is an Estonian noun meaning the final place or end position in a ranking, or the end point of a route or process. It is a compound formed from lõpp (end) and koht (place). The form lõppkoha is the genitive singular of lõppkoht, used when the noun functions as the object of a verb or preposition.

In sports and competitions, lõppkoha refers to the final standing achieved by a participant. It indicates how high or low someone finishes in a contest. Common expressions include turniiri lõppkoha and lõppkoha määr. For example, a report might say that a team “sai lõppkoha kolmandaks” in a tournament.

In navigation and process contexts, lõppkoha can denote the endpoint, but for travel routes the more usual term is sihtkoht. Lõppkoha emphasizes the final position rather than the journey itself, which makes it useful when describing project milestones, completion states, or ranking results.

Grammar and usage notes: lõppkoha appears as a genitive form of lõppkoht and is used after verbs that require an object, or after numerals in constructions like “kolmandaks.” Related terms include koht (place), lõpp (end), and sihtkoht (destination).
