Väljuminevad

Väljuminevad is an Estonian verbal form meaning “they leave” or “they are leaving.” It is formed by adding the third-person plural present tense ending -vad to the stem associated with the verb meaning to exit. The same root also yields the noun väljumine, meaning “exit” or “departure.” In usage, väljuminevad can function as a finite predicate with a plural subject or as a present active participle used attributively to describe a plural noun (for example, väljuminevad inimesed, “the people who are leaving”).

In standard Estonian, speakers may prefer more common constructions for ordinary statements of departure, such as lahkuvad (“they depart”) or väljuvad, depending on regional preference. Väljuminevad is more specialized and tends to appear in written or formal contexts or in linguistic descriptions, where the emphasis is on the action of leaving by a group or on the ongoing nature of the departure.

Usage notes:

- Finite form: nad väljuminevad → “they are leaving.”

- Attributive use: väljuminevad inimesed → “the people who are leaving.”

- Related forms include the noun väljumine (exit) and other verbs expressing leaving or departing.

See also: väljumine (exit, departure); lahkuma (to leave); välju (to go out). The form väljuminevad is a specific case of Estonian verbal morphology and is primarily of interest in linguistic discussion or formal writing.
