Yesyesly.

HaHa!
ankaŭ eblas diri "Fine!" sed finfine estas pli emfaza/troigita

[ichteltelch]

Is this reduplication derived from Hebrew "sofsof"? Or from Italian "alla fin fine" (but that has a different meaning)?

[temrix]

It comes from Russian “в конце концов / v konce koncov”

[Richdark]

Thank you for this translation. I haven't realized it, but we have similar saying/particle in Slovak - "koniec-koncov".

[A.Igor]

Same in Polish "w końcu koniec" :-) I believe it's common for all Slavic languages

[Richdark]

That's very possible. :-)

[KingPlutoIX]

could you translate that in english please

[temrix]

It means “finally”, “in the end” or literally “in the end of the ends”.

[TheKinglyWe]

isnt this a feature of ido...you repeat the first half of the word or something?

[draquila]

It's called reduplication and it's a feature of just about every language, although it's more common in some than others.

[twain_ling]

In English: Bye-bye, so-so, "He seemed to get paler and paler" etc.

[AiSENMA]

Very, very common in Japanese. Some of the many examples that come to my mind are まだまだ madamada "still" and だめだめ damedame "you can't" "it's impossible"

[AustinSegal]

Yes, "very very" common :)

[appleplusy]

It's used in some words to add emphasis. "Being Colloquial in Esperanto" has a page on this: http://pages.ucsd.edu/~dkjordan/eo/colloq/colloq140.html

[JoshLingo1800]

I haven't seen this in Ido. I think finfine is in Ido, as well. But I don't this it is a certain feature in Ido, though

[bobandnoo]

This is a great word.

[boydells]

in the end

[Rippler]

I feel like this translates into English most literally as "Finally finally!" or "Actually finally!" even though the first isn't good English and the second one is awkward.

[Tomicxo]

I feel like «finfine» is finally as in "at last", while plain «fine» is finally as in "lastly".
