Usage notes
- Use 'fine' for natural or intended endings (e.g., movies, stories). For abrupt stops, prefer 'termine' or 'conclusione'.
- Avoid confusing 'fine' (noun) with 'fino' (preposition). 'Fino a' means 'until'.
- No plural form in common usage. 'Fini' exists but means 'purposes' or 'goals', not 'ends'.
