väljaminevad

Väljaminevad is an Estonian adjective form meaning outgoing or outbound. It is used to describe people who are sociable as well as things or processes that move or are transmitted away from a center, such as outbound traffic, messages, calls, or connections. In everyday language, the term commonly denotes a personality tendency toward sociability, but it is also widely used in information technology and telecommunications to describe outbound communications.

Form and usage: väljaminevad is the plural nominative form of the adjective väljaminev and agrees with the noun it modifies. Common collocations include väljaminevad inimesed (outgoing people), väljaminevad kõned (outbound calls), väljaminevad sõnumid (outgoing messages) and väljaminevad ühendused (outbound connections). In formal writing, the sense of personality can also be expressed with ekstrovertne, while väljaminev remains a colloquial or everyday term for social openness or outward-moving processes.

Semantic nuance: in social contexts, väljaminev emphasizes sociability and openness to others; in technical contexts, it describes data or communications originating from an internal system toward external recipients. The opposite concept in telecommunications is sissetulev, meaning incoming.

Usage notes: väljaminevad is versatile and widely understood in Estonian. Its exact shade of meaning depends on context, ranging from a description of a person’s temperament to a label for outbound digital traffic.
