Questions & Answers about Alla fine troviamo la soluzione migliore insieme.
What’s the difference between alla fine, infine, and finalmente?
- alla fine literally means “at the end” and is commonly used in speech to mean “in the end” when concluding a process.
- infine is an adverb meaning “finally” or “to conclude,” slightly more formal or literary.
- finalmente means “at last” or “finally,” often carries a sense of relief (“we finally did it”).
You can often interchange these, but alla fine focuses on the endpoint, infine on the final point, and finalmente on the emotional relief of something happening.
What is alla doing in alla fine?
alla is the contraction of the preposition a + the feminine singular definite article la, because fine is a feminine noun. So a + la fine → alla fine (“at the end”).
Why is troviamo in the present tense here?
Italian often uses the present tense to express:
1) A general truth or habitual result (“in the end we always find…”).
2) A narrative present to make statements more vivid.
Here troviamo (“we find”) states a general conclusion rather than a single future or past event.
Why do we say la soluzione migliore and not omit the article before soluzione?
In Italian, nouns—even abstract ones like soluzione—usually require a definite article when speaking in general or specifying “the X.” Omitting la (soluzione migliore) would sound incomplete or overly abrupt.
Why is migliore placed after soluzione? Can we say la migliore soluzione?
- Placing migliore after the noun (la soluzione migliore) is the neutral, most common word order.
- Putting it before (la migliore soluzione) is grammatically correct but sounds more formal or emphatic.
Both communicate “the best solution,” but post-nominal is the default.
Could we say la soluzione più buona instead of la soluzione migliore?
Technically yes (più + buono), but Italian prefers the irregular comparative migliore for “better/best.” buono means “good,” while migliore directly conveys “better,” so it’s more idiomatic here.
What is the role and placement of insieme in this sentence? Could we move it elsewhere?
insieme is an adverb meaning “together” and modifies the verb troviamo.
- Sentence-final placement (…soluzione migliore insieme) emphasizes that the finding happens as a group.
- You could also say troviamo insieme la soluzione migliore without changing the core meaning, though the rhythm shifts slightly.
Moving insieme to the very front (insieme, alla fine…) is possible for style but less common.
How does migliore agree in gender and number? For plural, how do we say “the best solutions”?
- migliore is an adjective ending in -e, so it’s invariant for masculine/feminine in the singular.
- For the plural (both genders), it changes to migliori.
Thus “the best solutions” is le soluzioni migliori.
