Example sentences using: fino

This sentence uses 'fino' to indicate a time limit or endpoint. It is here translated to 'until', meaning the action specified (work) will continue up to a certain time (five).

I will study deep into the night.
In this context, 'fino' is used to mean 'up to a point'. The phrase 'fino a notte fonda' means 'until late at night' or 'up to the deep night'. It's used to express prolonged activities.

Again, 'fino' here indicates a period up to which an activity will continue. 'al tramonto' means 'until sunset'. The action 'Camminerò' or 'I will walk' is set to continue till the point in time referred to as 'the sunset'.
