uitademt

Uitademt is a Dutch term associated with exhaling, the act of breathing out. In standard Dutch the verb is uitademen; in present tense, the third-person singular form is ademt uit, and other forms follow the regular pattern (ik adem uit, jij ademt uit, wij ademen uit, etc.). The prefix uit is separable, so the normal present-tense construction is two words rather than a single word.

In practice, the two-word form ademt uit is the accepted spelling in formal writing. The single-word form uitademt is not considered standard for the present tense and is typically viewed as a nonstandard variant or a typographical convenience in headlines or informal text. When describing the action in general, Dutch speakers usually use uitademen in infinitive form or uitademt in contexts that allow nonstandard spelling.

Etymology and related forms: uitademen combines the prefix uit- meaning out with adem en (to breathe). Related terms include uitademing, the noun for the act of exhaling, and uitgeademd, the past participle meaning exhaled. The opposite concept is inademen (to inhale) and its related form inademing (inhalation).

Usage context: Uitademen appears in medical, fitness, relaxation, and sports discussions, as well as everyday descriptions of breathing. For example, “Zij ademt uit rustig tijdens de ontspanningsoefening.” See also ademhaling, inademen, en uitademing.
