What is 'finished' when translated from English to Italian?

Answer 1

The singular finita or rifinita and the plural finite or rifinite in the feminine and the singular finito or rifinito and the plural finiti or rifiniti in the masculine are literal Italian equivalents of the English word "finished." The choice depends upon the gender and number of what is "finished" as well as whether "finished" refers to getting things done (examples 1, 3, 5, 7) or touching up wood (examples 2, 4, 6, 8). The respective pronunciations will be "fee-NEE-ta," "fee-NEE-tey," "fee-NEE-to," and "fee-NEE-tee" for finishing tasks and "REE-fee-NEE-ta," "REE-fee-NEE-tey," "REE-fee-NEE-to," and "REE-fee-NEE-tee" for finishing furniture in Italian.
