Cultural Note
'Endlich' conveys relief and excitement after a long wait. It's derived from 'Ende' (end), literally meaning 'at the end.' The phrase 'Endlich Wochenende!' is practically a national catchphrase on Friday afternoons. Note the difference from 'schließlich' (eventually, in the end), which is more neutral.
