Until or Up to with Fins a

Level 2

Fins a marks an endpoint in space, time or a scale.

How It Works

Caminem fins a la platja identifies the point where the walk ends. Fins a les nou gives a time limit. Before masculine el and els, contract a normally: fins al final, fins als últims dies.

Some expressions omit a, especially before certain adverbs and day names: fins aquí, fins ara, fins demà, fins dilluns. Do not insert a automatically before every word that follows fins. Learn these common limits as complete phrases.

A starting point can pair with the endpoint: des de casa fins a l'estació. The two phrases make the range explicit. Fins i tot is a different fixed expression meaning even, so it should not be analyzed as a physical or temporal endpoint in an ordinary sentence.
