finalmente

finally

adverb fee-nahl-MEHN-teh Less Common

Origin: from finale, 'final'

at last

Usage Note

Finalmente is a false friend: it means 'at last' (with relief), NOT 'finally' in a list — for the latter use infine or per finire. Standing alone, finalmente! expresses 'about time!'.

Examples

"Finalmente sei arrivato!"
