"היא יוצאת."

Translation: She goes out.

How is this different from עוזבת which means to leave and in what context can it be used?

[YardenNB]

In many contexts both mean the same. But if it's one's home or working place, the difference is striking: יוצא is what one does every day, and returns later; עוזב means for good.

[aadambialas]

Is there any difference between עזב and יצא?

[Pumbush]

עזב = left

[Calhoun_James]

Would "She exits," then, be more similar to "היא עוזרת" or "היא יוצאת"?

[NaftaliFri1]

יוצאת

As written earlier, עזב means "left", so "היא עוזבת" is "she is leaving"

[Michael112818]

But isn't "leaving" and "going out" the same thing? Whats the difference?

[NaftaliFri1]

The meaning is pretty much similar, but still two distinctive phrases.

[Sebby94]

היא יוצאת means she leaves )e.g. a house or a room(

[Sebby94]

In my hebrew course at University I've learned the pronounciation "yotsēt", because האלך שותקת also the masoretic vocalisation supports this. Why does this say "yotse'et"?

[TeribleT]

I don't hear it, are you sure?

[dayoma1312]

I said "She is departing" and I cannot see why this would be incorrect. I know this is different from leaving but I don't see why saying departing (like from her house or workplace) would be different from the sentence. Does anybody know ?

[YardenNB]

Do you actually say departing from a house or a workplace, about a person? (I'm not a native English speaker, FWIW it sounds a bit strange to me.)

[TeribleT]

No, not just to leave for the day. You are correct, it's a weird thing to say. In this context (when it's used as a synonym for leaving/exiting) - it's used for journeys, or vehicles (I.e. The train is departing from the station), or poetically.

[Janis559500]

Everything you have said is correct. What's odd is that DL gave "is departing" as one of the drop down clues. Then they marked it wrong. I flagged it. As long as there is no context, they should accept other correct translations.
