What is las necesidades finales?

Question

otro, satisfacer las necesidades finales. (from La Biblioteca de Babel)

Answer 1

I'm not sure that you were asking for a literal translation of the words - relatively straightforward - so much as for the meaning. In the Borges story, I take the phrase to mean that the cabinet in question is a toilet.

Answer 2

Welcome, Ott.

I've provided a link to the Translation part of this website. You can't always count on a perfect translation, but this seems to be dead on. Just type your phrase in, and click on "Spanish to English".
