  2. Ketsuron

    結論

    As a conclusion, like an abstract detail. (abstract, like when you write in a paper--short summary).

    Teishi

    底止

    Implying cessation.

  3. I don't think that the words "ketsuron" (結論)or "teishi" (底止) make any sense in the context you want. They don't make any sense in the context of relationships.

    I am not sure if there is a single word in Japanese that express the idea of "closure" that you want. Maybe you have to say something like

    "umaku wakaretai. nokosareta nayami wo harashitai" which kind of means "I want to end our relationship on good terms. I don't want any bad feelings to linger between us."

    That's probably not a good translation but I think you're going to need more than a single word to express the idea of "closure" you want.


  4. I would say your best bet is 完成した, which means to be finished, done or completed; I doubt the literal translation of closure in Japanese is used colloquially to refer to the end of a relationship.
