1.
the last one; the final part; the ending
From English 'last.' Used for the closing part of a film, song, game, or series, and attributively for the final item in a sequence.
A loanword from English 'last,' but narrower in use: it names the final part of something, and does not mean 'previous' as English 'last week' does.
Compounds
- ラストシーン: the final scene
- ラストスパート: the final push, last spurt
- ラストオーダー: last order (in a restaurant or bar)
- ラスト一分: the final minute
Common mistake: 'last week' is 先週, not ラスト週. For 'the previous ~,' use 前の or 先~.
