What It Means
Think about a long soccer match or a big school project. The final result is that last score or the finished paper. It is the end of the journey. No more changes. No more waiting. It is the answer to the question: "So, how did it end?"
How To Use It
You can use it for almost anything that has a process. Use it for sports scores. Use it for medical tests. Use it for a cake you baked. You just put final result at the end of your sentence. For example: "I worked all day, and the final result was delicious!"
When To Use It
Use it when you want to sound clear and decisive. It works great in meetings when discussing a project. It is perfect for texting a friend about a game. If you are waiting for news, this is your go-to phrase. It feels satisfying to say because it means the work is over.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use it for things that are still changing. If you are halfway through a movie, that is not the final result. Avoid using it for people's personalities. People change, but a final result is fixed. Also, do not use it for a first draft. That is just a beginning!
Cultural Background
In English-speaking cultures, we are often obsessed with the "bottom line." We want to know the end goal quickly. The final result is a very popular phrase in business and sports. It reflects a culture that values efficiency and clear endings. We like to see the finished product and move on to the next thing.
Common Variations
You might hear people say end result or the outcome. Some people just say the final. In sports, they might say the final score. In a creative job, they might call it the finished piece. They all mean roughly the same thing, but final result is the most common and versatile.
Nutzungshinweise
