Examples using 果てる


The translation of this word is listed as:

> To end, to be finished, to be exhausted.

I am assuming these are in the order of importance or usage, But I could be
wrong. I have searched for examples and the only examples that I can find are
with the meaning "to be exhausted". Is this the only way it is commonly used?

If it's also used as to end or to be finished I would like to see an example
of it used in a sentence. I have tried a few dictionaries but again the only
words that come back relate to exhaustion i.e.: 疲れ果てる




In the form of 果てる itself, it's almost exclusively used in the meaning of to
be exhausted, as you say, except a couple of literary expressions like
地平線の果てるところ (where the horizon ends). The other meanings are seen in some
conjugated forms.

  * 望みを果たす: to accomplish your wish
  * 戦いの果て: consequence of battles
