(i)
  
Shimau is a verb that means "to finish". When shimau is used as an auxiliary verb,
following the -te form of another verb, it indicates that an action has been
thoroughly completed.

As in today's example, if the action is not performed unwillingly or despite the

intention of the doer, -te shimau form may also carry implications of
unwillingness and dissatisfaction on the part of the doer.

Today's    

Example:
Saifu o otoshite shimatte.
I have lost my wallet.

As another point in this example, please note that this sentence ends with te-form

continue to say something like "

  

and it seems to be uncompleted. If you say it in a full sentence, you could
Komatte imasu; I'm in a trouble".
But as in this example, you could omit the latter part, because it is obvious from
the situation, and could stop with te-form. When you want to explain the reason
   
or cause about your unfavorable situation, you can often use the sentence
4 structure of te shimatte.

Formation:
* Te form of Verb + shimau

  taberu        tabete shimau)

  nomu)       
  nonde shimau)
* Please note that in the case of gu/nu/bu/mu-verbs, te-form of them ends with not
te but de.

Today's example below is almost the same as saying  
 
verbs like todoku; to deliver), iku; to go), 
kuru; to come) or
kaeru; to return), which indicate the idea something or someone moves to

5 somewhere, "te-form + iru" means that something/someone moved to somewhere and is
there at the present time.

When you say
