eventually

In English, "eventually" means "in the end", "after a long wait" or "finally".

Example:
 
I argued with my colleague for over a week, but eventually I had to admit that she was right.
You can run from your problems but eventually they will catch up with you.


Origin of the confusion:

In German, "eventuell" means "possibly" or "potentially".
