"We finish eating the apples."

Translation: Ni finas manĝi la pomojn.

[craigmeu]

To me the English sentence is not a natural sentence in the present-tense form. When would an English speaker say that?! It is much more natural in the past:
We finished eating the apples.

[Edison88]

So this is "we finish to eat the apples", literally? I guessed right but it's a little clunky for a native English speaker. Would be nice to have this syntactical rule spelled out.

[ErnestoPerales]

Is "fin-" generic? Is it valid to say "Mi finlegas libron"?

[vikungen]

That is a valid sentence.

[ChuckBaggett]

Can you stick fin on the front of manĝi and say something like "Ni finmanĝi la pomojn"?

[ivovolt]

Why not "finigxas"?

[JoshLingo1800]

That means that something has become finished

[ivovolt]

How would "Ni finiĝas manĝi la pomojn" be translated?

[JoshLingo1800]

Not sure because since finiĝi means to come to an end; concluding; end; etc.. Maybe something like we ended eating apples, but I not exactly sure, though
