finitely

• يصف فعلًا أو عملية تجري في حدود منتهية، لا في اللانهاية؛ ويُستعمل غالبًا في السياقات العلمية والرياضية للدلالة على الانتهاء أو القابلية للعدّ.

Describes an action or process that occurs within limited, bounded, or non-infinite parameters. It is most commonly used in scientific and mathematical contexts to indicate that something has a definite, countable, or terminal nature.

1. In a mathematically or logically bounded wayB2formalscientific

   Refers to a process, set, or series that consists of a limited number of elements, steps, or iterations, as opposed to extending indefinitely.

   بشكل منتهٍ، في حدود رياضية محدودة

   • The algorithm was designed to terminate after a finite number of steps.
   • A decimal expansion that ends finitely is called a terminating decimal.
   • This theorem only applies to groups that can be finitely generated.
   • The series converges but not finitely; an infinite sum is required.
   • We can list these possibilities exhaustively, as they are only many finitely.

2. To a limited extent; not infinitelyC1formalscientific

   Indicates that an action, state, or resource is measurable, restricted, or bounded and cannot continue or extend without end.

   إلى حد محدود، لا إلى ما لا نهاية

   • Natural resources on our planet are only finitely available.
   • He was a generous man, but even his patience extended only finitely.
   • The number of possible combinations, though vast, is still finitely large.
   • One cannot postpone the decision indefinitely; it must be made finitely.
   • The universe itself may be finitely old, according to current cosmological models.
