Liitpäev

Liitpäev is an Estonian noun formed from the words liit (“union,” “association”) and päev (“day”). The term denotes a day related to a specific union, alliance, or organization and is typically used in historical or organizational contexts. A liitpäev may mark different kinds of observances, such as a founding anniversary, a day dedicated to unity within the group, or a scheduled day for meetings and events. It is not a fixed national holiday and does not have a standardized date across Estonia; its exact meaning and timing depend on the organization using the term.

In modern Estonian usage, liitpäev is uncommon and is most likely found in older texts, archival documents, or minutes of unions and associations. Because it is a compound noun that relies on context, its interpretation can vary between sources. The term illustrates how Estonian forms time expressions tied to organizational or social groupings, rather than to public calendar holidays.
