Üritustes

Üritustes is an Estonian grammatical form meaning “in events” or “at events.” It is the inessive plural form of the noun üritus (event) and is used to indicate location or context within multiple events, such as a festival, conference, or series of performances.

In Estonian, nouns decline for cases. The form üritustes marks the inessive plural, distinguishing “in the events” from the singular inessive ürituses (“in an event”). This form is typically used without a preposition and appears in contexts where multiple events are being discussed, compared, or described as part of a larger program.

Usage of üritustes is common in journalism, event programming, and organizational reports, especially when referring to participation, organization, or coverage across several events. It often collocates with verbs such as osalema (to participate), korraldama (to organize), and kajastama (to report on).

Examples:

- Me osalesime üritustes kogu nädalavahetuse jooksul.

- Festivalil toimus mitu esinemist, mis toimusid erinevates üritustes.

See also: üritus (event).

Notes:

- The form is contrasted with ürituses (“in an event”) and ürituste (genitive/plural), depending on the grammatical role and number in the sentence.

- In everyday speech, speakers may opt for more general terms like üritused or specify the context with other words, depending on clarity and emphasis.
