Esituste

Esituste is the genitive plural form of the Estonian noun related to presenting or demonstrations. In standard Estonian, the corresponding nominative plural is esitused, while esituste is used in sentences and phrases that require the genitive case, indicating “of presentations” or “presentations’.” The base noun can refer to talks, demonstrations, or performances that are delivered to an audience, depending on the context.

In usage, esituste typically appears in formal or written language such as event programs, academic writing, conference schedules, or planning documents. It is common to discuss the quantity, content, or scheduling of multiple presentations by using phrases like esituste arv (the number of presentations), esituste sisu (the content of the presentations), or esitluste ajakava, though the latter may also appear as esituste with different constructions.

Distinctions among related forms are routine in Estonian grammar. Esitused serves as the basic subject form (nominative plural) for the set of presentations, while esituste marks possession or association in phrases, and esituse would be the singular genitive. The verb forms associated with presenting are esitama and esitamine, which align with the noun forms in different syntactic roles.

See also: esitused, esitus, esitamine, ettekanne. These terms cover related ideas of presenting information, lectures, or performances across educational, professional, and cultural contexts.
