Almost

Almost: In set theory, when dealing with sets of infinite size, the term almost or nearly is used to mean all the elements except for finitely many.

Finitely: Adv. 1. finitely - with a finite limit; "there are finitely many solutions to this problem"

endlessly, infinitely - continuing forever without end; "there are infinitely many possibilities"

For me it's always almost. Is almost good enough even when you've tried your best? Have you ever reached finitely or is it even possible?
