väljalülitatud

Väljalülitatud is an Estonian adjective meaning “turned off” or “deactivated.” It derives from the verb väljalülitama (to switch off) and the past participle form väljalülitatud. The term is used to describe a device, system, or function whose power supply or operation has been deliberately or automatically stopped, so that it is no longer active.

The concept covers a range of contexts, including electrical appliances, vehicles, security or alarm systems, and software features. A state described as väljalülitatud can be temporary (for example, after manually turning off a device) or permanent (as part of a shutdown or disablement). In technical documentation or user interfaces, väljalülitatud is often contrasted with lülitatud (switched on). It can imply safety, energy saving, maintenance, or a disabled capability awaiting reactivation.

In practical use, väljalülitatud indicates the current status rather than the act of turning off. For example, a technician may ensure that equipment is väljalülitatud before servicing, or a user may confirm that a program is väljalülitatud before proceeding with an installation. The corresponding noun for the action is väljalülitamine, while the state is described by väljalülitatud.

See also: lülitus, lülitatud, äratõmbamine. Estonian terminology distinguishes explicitly between on (lülitatud) and off (väljalülitatud) states, reflecting clear status signaling in devices and software.
