väljahingatavas

Väljahingatavas is an Estonian word that translates to "exhaled" in English. It is the past passive participle of the verb "välja hingama," which means "to exhale." This term is primarily used in the context of breathing and respiration. When referring to the air that is expelled from the lungs, it is described as väljahingatavas õhk (exhaled air). This air differs from inhaled air in its composition, typically containing a higher concentration of carbon dioxide and water vapor, as well as being warmer. The process of exhalation, or väljahingamine, is a crucial part of the respiratory cycle, enabling the body to remove waste gases. The word can also be used metaphorically, though less commonly, to describe something released or uttered, similar to how a sigh might be described as being exhaled. However, its most direct and frequent application remains within the biological and physiological domain of respiration.
