  What it means

  Literally “at the point of leaving.” Very similar to ’na odchodne’ — means just as one is leaving, at the last moment before departure. “Just as I was leaving,” “on the way out.”

  Vocabulary

  • odchodzić — to leave, to depart

  Grammar note

  'Na odchodnym' uses the locative of 'odchodne' after 'na' — circumstance of departure. Slightly more formal than 'na odchodne'.
