Viime means last.
Edellinen is previous.
- Milloin kävit edellisen kerran suihkussa? - When was the previous time that you took a shower?
- Palvelu oli parempaa edellisellä kerralla. - The customer service was better during the previous time.
Viimeinen is the ultimately last, the final, after which there's NOTHING.
- Oliko tämä viimeinen esitys? - Was this the last show?
- Kuka söi viimeisen piparin? - Who ate the last gingerbread cookie?
- Tulen viimeisellä junalla. - I'll take the last train. (of the day)
- Viimeisenä mutta ei vähäisimpänä - Last but not least
- Oli kyllä viimeinen kerta kun lähdin sun kanssa mihinkään! - This was the last time that I went anywhere with you!
