I think 'end IN' works better in English.

Yes, I've added it. Many thanks.

Do you sleep? :-) I've never experienced such quick responses from a Duolingo moderator! Many thanks..

I am curious, but is ηττα used in modern greek

[D_..]

Yes, I can't think of another word for it actually. Χάσιμο and χασούρα have different connotations.

[DianaWard7]

Would ήττα also be used for "loss," as in wins and losses?

[jaye16]

Νο, "ήττα" means "defeat" as in you "were beaten".

[DianaWard7]

Ευχαρισώ!

[Alexios945995]

The battle ended WITH their defeat

[jaye16]

That is also an accepted translation.

Good! Considering it is the correct one....
