究竟 (jiū jìng) — (used in questions to emphasize a direct inquiry) actually, exactly; (used in statements to emphasize a final conclusion) after all, in the end; (noun, usually in the pattern 的) the ins and outs, the whole story

Definizione

究竟 does two jobs: in questions it pushes for a direct answer like 到底 ('Where exactly…?'); in statements it means 'after all, in the end' — softer and more reflective than 终于, which marks the moment something finally happens.
