Lähtöisissä

Lähtöisissä is a Finnish adjective that describes a person or thing that is in the process of leaving, departing, or setting out. It is the plural form of "lähtöinen," which also means departing or leaving. The term is often used in contexts related to travel, events, or situations where a movement away from a location or state is imminent or actively occurring.

For instance, one might say that a group of people at a bus stop are "lähtöisissä" if they are about to board the bus and begin their journey. Similarly, if a party is winding down and guests are starting to gather their belongings, they could be described as "lähtöisissä." The word conveys a sense of transition and impending departure.

The nuance of "lähtöisissä" lies in its implication of an ongoing or immediate action. It's not simply about having left, but about being in the state of preparing to leave or actively leaving. This can encompass various stages of departure, from the initial intention to leave to the physical act of moving away. The word is a descriptive term that captures the dynamic nature of leaving.
