done
Task is complete
Done indicates completion or finish.
When something is done, it has reached its end state—a task is done when completed, food is done when fully cooked, and a person is done when they've had enough: I'm done with this conversation.
The expression done and dusted emphasizes finality.
In informal speech, done often replaces finished: Are you done with the bathroom?
When someone says I'm done, context determines whether they mean finished with a task or exhausted by a situation.
