| POST |
| John: Listen again to Yến's post. |
| Nguyet : Cuối cùng cũng xong. |
| John: "Finally finished." |
| Nguyet : (SLOW) Cuối cùng cũng xong. (Regular) Cuối cùng cũng xong. |
| John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "Finally." |
| Nguyet : Cuối cùng |
| John: This is used to indicate that the speaker has just been through a long process of something, though the speaker does not really mention anything about the process. |
| It can also be used when you want to list something, as “first, second, and finally.” Listen again - "Finally" is... |
| Nguyet : (SLOW) Cuối cùng (REGULAR) Cuối cùng |
| John: Then comes the phrase "finished." |
| Nguyet : cũng xong. |
| John: The first word is translated as "also," but in this case, it does not mean "also" but rather indicates the speaker's relief that he has worked hard for a long time and he’s finally finished. |
| Listen again - "finished" is... |
| Nguyet : (SLOW) cũng xong. (REGULAR) cũng xong. |
| John: All together, it's "Finally finished." |
| Nguyet : Cuối cùng cũng xong. |
