How it's used
Refers specifically to the finality of an event or a process rather than just a physical stopping point. It carries a formal or dramatic weight, often used in contexts involving long-standing conflicts, relationships, or artistic works. While it functions as a noun, it is less common in casual daily speech than 完結 or 結束.
Examples
This matter finally has an end.
Do you think this argument will ever have an end?

Common mistake
Avoid using this as a direct verb to mean finish; it is strictly a noun. If you want to say something has finished, use 完結咗 or 結束咗 instead.
