Reageeringute

Reageeringute is the genitive plural of the Estonian noun reageering, which denotes a response or reaction to a stimulus, event, or communication. The noun is formed from the verb reageerida (to respond) with the -ing suffix and is mainly found in formal, academic, or analytical contexts to refer to multiple responses or a set of responses within a situation or study.

Usage of reageeringute spans psychology, sociology, marketing, media studies, and related fields. It describes how people, audiences, or systems respond to various prompts such as messages, products, or policies. Reageeringute can refer to both qualitative aspects (the content or nature of responses) and quantitative aspects (the number, timing, or speed of responses). Common collocations include reageeringute arv (the number of responses), reageeringute laad (the character or quality of responses), and reageeringute kiirus (the speed of responses).

Relation to other terms: reageering is distinct from reakti—used for chemical or more formal reactions—and from the verb reageerida, which means to respond. In many texts, reageeringute appears when discussing data, results, or observations that involve multiple instances of replying, reacting, or replying responses to stimuli or communication.

Examples: In an online survey, the reageeringute ajastus may reveal peak activity after a campaign message. In a product launch, mida parem on reageeringute kvaliteet, seda informatiivsem on tagasiside toorain.
