Often the word is pronounced
Often the word is pronounced "ende" because of the Daitshmerizm, so therefore ende sounds like an adjective. It's really a noun though, and often used like your sentence. Also-bizn ende gas, bizn sof vokh, etc.

I'm personally not involved at all with Yiddish literature, so I wouldn't know. It was just a suggestion...

Right, good point. I just
Right, good point. I just meant that the spelling/pronunciation of the word is usually brought as "end" as opposed to "ende", so therefore it's preferred in that regard. But true, the practical use of sof is surely preferred...
