I have been defined "locally finite space" as follows:
Let $X$ be a topological space. We say that it's locally finite if for any $x\in X$ we have a finite neighbourhood containing it.
What does it mean "finite neighbourhood"? Is that we have a finite number of open sets covering that neighbourhood? Or it means that it contains a finite number of points of $X$?
Thanks for your time.

It means there exists a neighborhood of $x$ which is finite. An example would be a set endowed with the discrete topology: any $x$ admits $\{x\}$ as a finite neighborhood.
