When discussing the conclusion of an event, task, or period, the verb 结束 (jié shù) is commonly used to mean 'to end' or 'to finish.' It can be applied to a wide range of situations, from finishing a meal to concluding a meeting or even the end of a relationship. For instance, you could say 会议结束了 (Huìyì jiéshù le) to mean 'The meeting is over.'
You can also use 结束 to indicate that something has concluded permanently, such as 我们的合作结束了 (Wǒmen de hézuò jiéshù le), which means 'Our cooperation has ended.' It’s a versatile verb for expressing finality. Remember, 结束 often implies a complete cessation, not just a pause or intermission.
§ What does it mean and when do people use it?
The Chinese word 结束 (jié shù) is a versatile verb that means 'to end' or 'to finish'. It's used in a wide range of situations, from simple daily tasks to more abstract concepts. Think of it as the Chinese equivalent of 'the end' or 'it's over'.
You can use 结束 for things like:
- A meeting ending.
- A game finishing.
- A relationship coming to an end.
- A project being completed.
- A class being dismissed.
It's a very common and practical word to know, even at the A1 level, because so many things in life have a beginning and an end.
- DEFINITION
- to end; to finish
会议结束了。
This means: The meeting ended.
我们什么时候结束工作？
This means: When do we finish work?
As you can see, it's pretty straightforward. You just put 结束 where you'd normally put 'end' or 'finish' in English. It often takes '了 (le)' after it to indicate the completion of an action, but not always, especially when talking about future plans or general statements.
Let's look at a few more examples to get a better feel for it.
比赛很快就结束了。
This means: The game will end soon.
我的大学生活已经结束了。
This means: My university life has already finished.
Notice how in the second example, 结束 is used to talk about an entire phase of life coming to an end. It's not just for small, momentary events. It shows the completion of a period or a stage.
You'll find yourself using 结束 frequently as you progress in your Chinese learning. It's a fundamental verb for expressing completion and finality. Make sure to practice using it in different contexts to get comfortable with its usage.
§ Don't confuse it with 完 (wán) or 结束 (jiéshù) as an adjective
Many students get confused between 结束 (jiéshù) and 完 (wán) because both can mean 'to finish' or 'to complete'. However, they are used in different contexts. 结束 (jiéshù) refers to the end of an event, a process, or a period of time. It emphasizes the termination of something. 完 (wán) often implies the completion of an action, usually something that has a quantifiable result or involves consuming something.
会议结束了。 (Huìyì jiéshù le.) – The meeting ended.
我吃完饭了。 (Wǒ chī wán fàn le.) – I have finished eating.
You can't say “我吃结束饭了” (Wǒ chī jiéshù fàn le) because eating is an action with a clear completion. The meeting, on the other hand, is an event that terminates.
Another common mistake is trying to use 结束 (jiéshù) as an adjective directly to describe a noun, like saying 'the ended meeting'. In Chinese, 结束 (jiéshù) is primarily a verb. If you want to describe something as 'finished' or 'over,' you'd usually use it in a verbal phrase or with a structural particle.
结束的会议 (jiéshù de huìyì) is less common and might sound a bit awkward. It's better to say 已经结束的会议 (yǐjīng jiéshù de huìyì) - the meeting that has already ended.
Or, you can simply use the verb form directly with '了 (le)' indicating completion.
会议结束了。 (Huìyì jiéshù le.) – The meeting is over.
§ Using 结束 (jiéshù) with incorrect objects
Remember that 结束 (jiéshù) usually takes events, periods, or processes as its direct object. It doesn't typically take concrete objects or people.
Correct: 比赛结束了。 (Bǐsài jiéshù le.) – The match ended.
Incorrect: 我结束了我的作业。 (Wǒ jiéshù le wǒ de zuòyè.) – This sounds a bit off. While grammatically understandable, it's more natural to say 我做完作业了 (Wǒ zuò wán zuòyè le) – I finished my homework.
You wouldn't say you 'end' your homework in the same way you 'end' a meeting. You 'complete' your homework.
§ Not using 结束 (jiéshù) reflexively when it's implied
Sometimes, 结束 (jiéshù) can stand alone without an explicit object if the context makes it clear what is ending. English speakers sometimes try to force a subject and object when it's not needed in Chinese.
比赛快要结束了。 (Bǐsài kuàiyào jiéshù le.) – The match is about to end.
Here, '比赛 (bǐsài - match)' is the subject that is ending. You don't need to add another object for 结束 (jiéshù).
§ Overlooking its use in fixed phrases
Like many verbs, 结束 (jiéshù) appears in common phrases. Don't try to substitute it with other words if there's a set expression.
- DEFINITION
- 结束生命 (jiéshù shēngmìng): to end one's life
- DEFINITION
- 结束关系 (jiéshù guānxi): to end a relationship
他们决定结束他们的关系。 (Tāmen juédìng jiéshù tāmen de guānxi.) – They decided to end their relationship.
Understanding these nuances will help you use 结束 (jiéshù) much more naturally and accurately. Keep practicing, and you'll get the hang of it!

संज्ञा
इसे कैसे इस्तेमाल करें
The word 结束 (jié shù) means to end or to finish. It can be used for both events and activities. For example, you can say 会议结束了 (Huìyì jiéshù le), which means 'The meeting is over.' or 演唱会结束了 (Yǎnchànghuì jiéshù le), meaning 'The concert has finished.' You can also use it with actions, like 我结束了我的工作 (Wǒ jiéshù le wǒ de gōngzuò), meaning 'I finished my work.'
A common mistake is confusing 结束 (jié shù) with 完成 (wán chéng). While both can mean 'to finish,' 结束 (jié shù) focuses on the cessation of an action or event, whereas 完成 (wán chéng) emphasizes the completion of a task or goal. For instance, you wouldn't typically say 我完成了我的演唱会 (Wǒ wánchéng le wǒ de yǎnchànghuì) to mean 'I finished my concert' (unless you're talking about the act of completing the performance itself as a task). Instead, you would use 结束 (jié shù) for the concert being over.
सुझाव
Basic Meaning of 结束
The most common use of 结束 (jié shù) is to say something has finished or ended. Think of it like saying 'the class ended' or 'the meeting finished'.
Use with Time Phrases
You'll often hear 结束 with time words. For example, '下午结束' (xià wǔ jié shù) means 'to finish in the afternoon'.
Common Sentence Structure
A very common way to use it is: [Subject] + 结束 + [Object]. For instance, '我结束工作' (wǒ jié shù gōng zuò) means 'I finished work'.
Opposite of 开始
Remember that 结束 is the opposite of 开始 (kāi shǐ), which means to start or begin. Learning antonyms together helps memory.
Can be a Noun Too
While primarily a verb, 结束 can sometimes act as a noun meaning 'the end' or 'the finish', as in '比赛的结束' (bǐ sài de jié shù) - 'the end of the game'.
Practice with Daily Routines
Practice using 结束 when talking about your daily routine: '我什么时候结束学习?' (wǒ shén me shí hou jié shù xué xí?) - 'When do I finish studying?'
Don't Confuse with 完成
While similar, 结束 means to end, and 完成 (wán chéng) means to complete. You can finish a task (结束), but you complete a project (完成) with all its parts done.
Using '快要…了' with 结束
To say something is 'about to end', use '快要…了' (kuài yào…le). Example: '电影快要结束了' (diàn yǐng kuài yào jié shù le) - 'The movie is about to end'.
Listen for Context
Always pay attention to the surrounding words to understand what is ending. Is it a meeting? A relationship? A trip?
Simple Examples

- 我们结束了一天的工作。(Wǒmen jiéshù le yī tiān de gōngzuò.) - We finished a day's work.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल
10 सवालBoth 结束 (jiéshù) and 完成 (wánchéng) mean 'to finish' or 'to complete,' but they have slightly different nuances.
结束 (jiéshù) focuses on the act of something coming to an end. It's about stopping. Think of it as 'ending' or 'concluding.'
Example: 会议结束了。(Huìyì jiéshù le.) - The meeting ended.
完成 (wánchéng) emphasizes the completion of a task or goal. It's about finishing something that was started and bringing it to a successful conclusion.
Example: 我完成了作业。(Wǒ wánchéng le zuòyè.) - I finished the homework.
So, while a task might 结束 (end), you would more likely 完成 (complete) it.
You can use 结束 as a verb directly. It means 'to end' or 'to finish.'
Example 1: 比赛结束了。(Bǐsài jiéshù le.) - The game ended.
Example 2: 我们结束了旅行。(Wǒmen jiéshù le lǚxíng.) - We finished the trip.
Example 3: 什么时候结束？(Shénme shíhou jiéshù?) - When will it end?
Yes, absolutely! 结束 can be used for both things and events. It refers to the cessation or conclusion of something.
Event example: 派对结束了。(Pàiduì jiéshù le.) - The party ended.

结束 is a very common and neutral word. It's suitable for both formal and informal contexts. You'll hear it in everyday conversations, news reports, and official announcements.
While 结束 means 'to end,' for 'the end of the year,' the more common and natural phrasing is 年底 (niándǐ).
Example: 年底我会很忙。(Niándǐ wǒ huì hěn máng.) - I will be very busy at the end of the year.
You wouldn't typically say 结束年 (jiéshù nián) for 'end of the year' in this context.
Yes, 结束 can also be used as a noun meaning 'the end' or 'the conclusion.'
Example: 这是一个新的开始，不是结束。(Zhè shì yīgè xīn de kāishǐ, bù shì jiéshù.) - This is a new beginning, not an end.
However, when used as a noun, it often follows a verb or is part of a phrase like 'the end of X'.
You can ask 'Are you finished?' by saying: 你结束了吗？(Nǐ jiéshù le ma?)
Or, depending on the context, you might ask: 你做完了吗？(Nǐ zuò wán le ma?) which means 'Have you finished doing it?' This is more common if you're asking about completing a task.
Yes, 结束 can be used in the context of ending a relationship. It's often paired with other words to make it clear.
Example: 他们结束了他们的关系。(Tāmen jiéshù le tāmen de guānxì.) - They ended their relationship.
Another common way to say 'break up' in a romantic context is 分手 (fēnshǒu).
The most direct opposite of 结束 (to end/finish) is 开始 (kāishǐ), which means 'to start' or 'to begin.'
Example: 电影开始了。(Diànyǐng kāishǐ le.) - The movie started.
Example: 电影结束了。(Diànyǐng jiéshù le.) - The movie ended.
Yes, here are a couple of common phrases:
1. 告一段落 (gào yī duàn luò): This means 'to come to a temporary close' or 'to conclude a stage.' It implies that something is ending for now, but might resume.
Example: 我们的工作告一段落了。(Wǒmen de gōngzuò gào yī duàn luò le.) - Our work has come to a temporary close.
2. 圆满结束 (yuánmǎn jiéshù): This means 'to come to a successful conclusion' or 'to end perfectly.' It implies a positive and satisfactory ending.
Example: 会议圆满结束。(Huìyì yuánmǎn jiéshù.) - The meeting concluded successfully.
