Väljumisel

Väljumisel is the Estonian noun that denotes the act or moment of leaving. It describes a departure, exit, or withdrawal from a place, situation, or state. The term stems from the verb väljumine (to leave or to exit) and is often used in constructions that mean “upon leaving” or “on exit.”

The word is used across domains. In everyday speech and travel, väljumisel marks events surrounding a departure, such as leaving a building, a city, or a vehicle, or the moment an activity ends. In employment contexts, it appears in discussions of personnel changes, for example regarding an employee’s departure and related processes such as an exit interview (väljumisintervjuu) or administrative procedures on leaving a company.

In information technology and software, väljumisel refers to the moment when a user leaves a page or exits an application; it can be described as an exit event and may be used in logs, analytics, or user interface design to trigger cleanup tasks or prompts.

Related terms include väljumine (the act of leaving) and lahkumine (to leave, departure). The form väljumisel is the inflected variant used in adverbial or genitive-like constructions indicating “on leaving” or “during leaving” depending on context.
