おわる

終わる is an intransitive verb meaning that something comes to its end or reaches completion. It describes events or actions that naturally conclude rather than being caused to end by someone. It is commonly used for natural conclusions of processes, durations, or cycles, and is often contrasted with verbs that indicate someone ending something on purpose. Use after nouns or clauses that denote the thing coming to an end, such as periods, tasks, events, or stories.
