1. (sports) final
2. finale

• The general declension is with a genitive des Finales and plural die Finale.
• The form Finals, both for the genitive and the plural, originally belongs to the Swiss German variant Final. It is now often used for the German/Austrian Finale as well, but only in the sport sense. Given the fact that either plural may sound awkward, Endspiele or less often Finalspiele may be preferred.
