Learning notes
Explanation
ยุติ is a somewhat formal word common in news, law, government, and business contexts. A common pattern is ยุติ + noun phrase, meaning “to end” or “to discontinue” something. The form ยุติลง is often used when a situation or activity dies down or comes to an end. ยุติธรรม is best learned as a separate word meaning “fair,” “just,” or “justice.”
Usage
Use it for formal endings of meetings, projects, contracts, negotiations, disputes, legal cases, government measures, protests, or organized activities.
Caution
For everyday situations like finishing homework, finishing a meal, or a movie ending, เสร็จ or จบ is usually more natural. ยุติ can sound stiff or official in casual contexts.
