(ongoing project)
Enfim is an ongoing project. The word “enfim” is an adverb in the Portuguese language, typically used as a transition, roughly meaning: finally, at last, ultimately, in short, in the end. The word has various interpretations and its true meaning really depends on the context under which it is used. No dictionary definition really covers it completely, but all get some part of it down. I find it one if the most appealing words of the Portuguese language, full of layered meanings yet very simple and commonly used.
En•fim [ ẽˈ fı̃ ]:
Em suma, em síntese, para concluir.
Caracteriza a necessidade de se concluir uma ideia, um pensamento, um discurso, etc.
Finalmente, afinal.
Expressão usada para acrescentar algo ao que já foi dito.

sem saudade de você
sem saudade de mim
o passado passou enfim
