Esinemisel

Esinemisel is the Estonian adessive singular form of the noun esinemine, which means a performance or act of performing. The word is used to express location or time relative to a performance, roughly translating to “at the performance” or “during the performance.” In practice it appears in written language and formal speech, such as event programs, press reports, and scholarly discussions of performing arts.

Usage and context often center on describing events, participation, or activities linked to a specific performance. For example, Esinemisel osalevad mitmed kunstnikud means that several artists participate in the performance. The form helps situate statements in relation to a particular show, concert, theater production, or similar public presentation.

The term is commonly found in media coverage of cultural events, program notes, and academic writing about performing arts. It is part of a broader area of Estonian grammar in which nouns derived from verbs of action (in this case esinemine) take case forms to indicate various spatial and temporal relations.

Related concepts include esinemine (the act of performing or a performance in general) and esineja (a performer). Esinemisel functions as a grammatical tool to anchor descriptions to a specific performance and to convey nuances of timing or location within discourse about live events.
