what is finies

Hello,

In the sentence below, finies means gone/finished, but is it used as a noun or is something different? I checked the conjugator there is no such thing as finies, too. What kind of usage is this?

Finies mes journees tranquilles !

Aller là-bas

Two Kwiz questions linked to this lesson give the above construction for "go there" - can y aller be used instead? Is there a distinction?

She wants you to go there = Elle veut que tu ailles là-bas

Do you want me to go there? = Veux-tu que j’aille là-bas ?
