How to say "Last" in Japanese

When translating "last" into Japanese, you must choose carefully between 終点 and あくまで. In Japanese, 終点 (しゅうてん (shuuten)) is typically associated with "last stop, terminal (of a train/bus line)" (Syllabus Level: N3) and represents The final destination or stop on a public transportation route.. On the other hand, あくまで (あくまで (akumade)) maps to "to the last; to the bitter end; persistently; (not) in the least; only; merely" (Syllabus Level: N2) and represents Emphasizes that something is 'only' or 'merely' the case, or to insist on a point 'to the end'. Often used with a sense of limitation or resolve.. A literal translation of "last" can often sound unnatural to native Japanese speakers if mixed up!
