뜻
Finishing a task or project successfully.
문화적 배경
Using 'portare a termine' in a CV or interview signals 'affidabilità' (reliability). In a culture that values both creativity and tradition, showing you can close a project is highly prized. The 'tesi di laurea' is a sacred rite of passage in Italy. Completing it is always described as 'portare a termine la tesi', emphasizing the long, often bureaucratic struggle. Italian bureaucracy is notoriously slow. When a 'pratica' (file/procedure) is finally 'portata a termine', it is a cause for celebration. In Italian sports commentary, especially cycling (a very popular sport), 'portare a termine la tappa' (finishing the stage) is used to describe the endurance of riders.
The 'No Article' Rule
Remember: it's 'a termine'. Never 'al termine' or 'il termine' in this phrase. This is the #1 marker of a high-level student.
Don't over-use it
If you use it for small things like 'finishing a coffee', Italians will think you are being sarcastic or very strange.
