përfundimit

Përfundimi is an Albanian noun meaning the end, conclusion, or completion of something. It is used to denote the final stage of a process, the result of reasoning, or the ending portion of a text, event, or activity.

It is formed from the root fund meaning end, with the nominalising suffix -im. The base form is përfundim; the definite form is përfundimi. The genitive form përfundimit is used after prepositions, as in përfundimit të projektit, meaning the completion of the project.

In everyday language, përfundimi often refers to the completion or conclusion of a task: përfundimi i një projekti (the completion of a project), përfundimi i një ligji (the passing of a law). In literature, philosophy, and public discourse, it can denote the conclusion or final part of a statement, story, debate, or ceremony, as in përfundimi i historisë or përfundimi i një fjalimi.

Synonyms and nuance: nearby terms include fund and mbarim. Fund generally refers to the physical end or terminus, while mbarim emphasizes completion or termination of a process. Përfundimi tends to highlight the culmination as a distinct phase or outcome within a broader sequence.
