معنی
Completing all duties.
زمینه فرهنگی
The concept of 'дела' is central to the Russian identity of being a 'serious' person. A person who has no 'дела' is often viewed with suspicion or as being lazy. In Russian offices, 'закончить дела' often implies staying until the task is done, regardless of the clock. There is a high value placed on 'finality.' Using 'мне нужно закончить дела' is one of the most socially acceptable ways to leave a party early without offending the host. The rhyme 'Сделал дело — гуляй смело' is so famous that people often just say the first half, and everyone knows the second.
The 'Safe' Excuse
If you want to leave any situation, just say 'Мне нужно закончить дела.' It's vague enough that no one will ask questions, but sounds important enough to justify leaving.
Watch the Stress
Make sure to stress the 'a' in 'делА.' If you stress the 'e' (дЕла), it sounds like the genitive singular, which is grammatically different.
