Eelmängus
Eelmängus is a term originating from Estonian culture, generally referring to the preliminary or introductory phase of something. It can encompass a wide range of activities, from social gatherings and conversations that precede a main event to the preparatory stages of a more significant undertaking. The essence of eelmängus lies in building anticipation, establishing a foundation, or simply engaging in lighter, less formal interactions before moving on to the primary focus.
In a social context, eelmängus might involve a casual get-together with friends before attending a concert
Beyond social events, the concept of eelmängus can also apply to more practical or professional situations.
