I never saw {rIntaH} meaning that something is over, it means that an
action is accomplished.

 From ST3 {vIje' rIntaH} means that valkris has bought the thing, the
action of buying is complete, in the sense that this situation will last
forever, not that it's over forever.

I'm still not sure this would work with verbs of quality (which was
mayqel's question).

If I say {jIQuch} it's "I'm happy". Adding {rIntaH} would imply an
ongoing situiation, not that it has ended. Meanwhile, the question is:
Does {jIQuchta'} work, and what does it mean? {-ta'} implies that
something is accomplished, so what do you accomplish, when you {Quch}?
