Interrogative adverb meaning 'how', always carries an accent to distinguish it from the conjunction 'como' (as).
terminas
Second‑person singular present indicative of terminar. Used for actions you perform habitually or in the moment.
una llamada
Indefinite article + noun. 'Una' signals a non‑specific call; 'llamada' is feminine, so the article agrees.
de trabajo
Prepositional phrase that qualifies the type of call. 'Trabajo' works as a noun meaning 'work' or 'job'.

Cultural Tip
In most Spanish‑speaking business contexts, it’s customary to end calls with a brief thank‑you, a reference to next steps, and a friendly farewell. Using «Saludos cordiales» or «Quedo a la espera de tus comentarios» adds a formal touch, while «¡Que tengas buen día!» keeps it warm but still professional. Avoid overly casual closings like «Nos vemos» unless you have an established informal relationship.
