Demonstreerimine

Demonstreerimine is an Estonian noun that denotes the act of demonstrating, showing, or illustrating something to convey how it works or to provide evidence. It encompasses practical demonstrations used in education or training, as well as the presentation of ideas, procedures, or results to an audience.

The term is derived from the verb demonstreerima ("to demonstrate"), which in turn comes from a root found in many European languages related to demonstration. In Estonian, demonstreerimine refers to the process or event of demonstrating.

Applications: In education and training, demonstreerimine involves displaying a procedure, experiment, or example to aid understanding. In science and technology, demonstrations of devices, experiments, or workflows are common tools for communication and verification. In everyday language, it can simply mean showing how something is done or offering evidence in a discussion.

Public and social aspects: The word is also used for organized public gatherings that express opinions or demands, commonly rendered in English as a demonstration or protest. The exact meaning depends on context, tone, and modifiers (for example a peaceful demonstration versus a more confrontational one).
