Questions & Answers about Insomma, alla fine è andato tutto bene.

The lesson focuses on markers like cioè and infatti. How does insomma fit in here?
Insomma is another very common discourse marker. It literally means 'in sum', and is used here to mean 'all in all', 'in short', or 'to sum up'. It is the perfect marker for wrapping up a story, concluding an explanation, or summarizing a situation.
Why is tutto placed after the verb (è andato tutto) instead of before it?
In Italian, it is very common to put the subject after the verb when using indefinite pronouns like tutto (everything) or niente (nothing). Saying tutto è andato bene is also grammatically correct, but è andato tutto bene flows much better and is what you will almost always hear native speakers say.
Just as a refresher, why do we use è instead of ha with andato?
The verb andare (to go) always takes essere as its helper verb in the past tense because it describes movement or a change of state. Since the subject here is tutto, which is treated as a masculine singular noun, the past participle takes the matching masculine singular ending in andato.
Could I use finalmente instead of alla fine here?
They have slightly different feelings. Alla fine means 'in the end' or 'ultimately', which perfectly matches the summarizing mood of insomma. Finalmente means 'finally' or 'at last', which you would use instead to express relief that something happened after a long, frustrating wait.
