How to say "conclusion" in Japanese

• 最後さいごJLPT N4approx.Common
  nounCovers 'conclusion' in the sense of the final part or end of something — the conclusion of a story, speech, or event. It is not the word for a judgment reached after discussion.

  I can assure you that honesty pays in the long run.

  The two came to the same conclusion.
• 終了しゅうりょうJLPT N2approx.Common
  noun, suru verb, transitive verb, intransitive verbPresents 'conclusion' as the termination or close of an activity: a meeting, event, or process ends. It states that something has ended, rather than marking a final part or a judgment.

  Tom got time and a half when he worked beyond his usual quitting time.
• 完了かんりょうJLPT N3approx.Common
  noun, suru verb, transitive verb, intransitive verbFrames 'conclusion' as completion: a task, procedure, or process has been carried through to the end and is done. What matters is that the work is finished, not how it ended.

  The house with the damaged roof has been repaired.
• 完結かんけつCommon
  noun, suru verb, intransitive verbUsed when something long-running — a story, series, or undertaking — is brought to a full, finished close. It stresses that everything has been wrapped up and nothing remains.
