Treenijad

Treenijad is a plural noun in Estonian meaning “trainers” or “coaches.” It is formed from the verb treenima (to train) with the agentive suffix -ija and the plural ending -d. The singular form treenija refers to an individual trainer, though in everyday language the term treener is more commonly used for a professional coach.

In usage, treenijad describe people who organize, supervise, or lead training sessions. This can include fitness instructors, coaches in sports clubs, or instructors involved in educational or corporate training programs. The term emphasizes the role of someone who trains others rather than a formal title; hence it may be found in contexts where the act of training or the function of arranging practice is highlighted.

Treenijad can be applied across various fields, such as athletics, gym settings, and workplace development. While treener is often preferred in formal or official contexts for naming a coach, treenijad remains a valid plural referring to those who train others in a broader sense.
