总算

zǒngsuàn

“总算” (zǒng suàn) is an adverb indicating that something has finally happened after a period of waiting, difficulty, or uncertainty. It often carries a sense of relief or satisfaction that a desired outcome has been achieved. Unlike a simple “finally,” “总算” emphasizes that the result was hard-won or that there was a long process involved. It can be used to express a positive outcome or the resolution of a challenging situation. Think of it as conveying, “it finally happened, and it’s a good thing.”

§ What Does 总算 (zǒng suàn) Mean?

总算 (zǒng suàn) is an adverb in Chinese that means 'finally,' 'at last,' or 'in the end.' It's used to express that something expected or hoped for has happened after a period of waiting, difficulty, or suspense. Think of it as a sigh of relief when a situation resolves itself or a goal is finally achieved.

It conveys a sense of anticipation and the successful outcome of an event. It's often used when there's been some effort, patience, or even a bit of luck involved in reaching the desired result. You'll hear native speakers use it a lot in everyday conversations, especially when talking about things that took a while to happen or were difficult to accomplish.

Definition
at last; finally; in the end

§ When Do People Use 总算 (zǒng suàn)?

People use 总算 (zǒng suàn) in a few common scenarios:

  • After a long wait: When something you've been waiting for a while finally happens.
  • After overcoming difficulties: When you've faced challenges, and the desired outcome is achieved.
  • Expressing relief: When a stressful situation concludes positively.
  • Referring to an ultimate conclusion: When, despite various twists and turns, something ultimately turns out a certain way.

It carries a nuance of relief or satisfaction that the event has occurred. It's not just 'finally' in a neutral sense, but 'finally, and thankfully!'

multiple choice A2

我们等了很久，电影___开始了。

正确！ 不太对。 正确答案： 总算

The sentence implies that after a long wait, the movie finally started. '总算' (zǒngsuàn) means 'at last' or 'finally', which fits the context perfectly. '总是' (zǒngshì) means 'always', '从来' (cónglái) means 'never', and '已经' (yǐjīng) means 'already', none of which express the idea of something happening after a long anticipation.

multiple choice A2

他找了很久的钥匙，___在沙发下面找到了。

正确！ 不太对。 正确答案： 总算

The sentence describes someone searching for keys for a long time and then finding them. '总算' (zǒngsuàn) correctly conveys the sense of 'finally' finding them after an effort. '常常' (chángcháng) means 'often', '可能' (kěnéng) means 'maybe', and '忽然' (hūrán) means 'suddenly', none of which fit the context of a long search leading to a final discovery.

multiple choice A2

雨停了，我们___可以出去了。

正确！ 不太对。 正确答案： 总算

The sentence suggests that after the rain stopped, there's a sense of relief and finally being able to go out. '总算' (zǒngsuàn) expresses this 'at last' feeling. '一定' (yīdìng) means 'definitely', '当然' (dāngrán) means 'of course', and '马上' (mǎshàng) means 'immediately', but they don't capture the nuance of something happening after a period of waiting or difficulty.

正确！ 不太对。 正确答案： 错误

true false A2

我们爬了三个小时，总算到山顶了。（We climbed for three hours, and finally reached the mountaintop.）

“总算”可以用在积极和消极的语境中，表达某种情况最终发生。
