Treeningutes

Treeningutes is the Estonian inessive plural form of treening, meaning “in trainings” or “during training sessions.” It refers to the setting or period of multiple training activities and is commonly used in sports, physical education, and military contexts. The form is derived from the stem treening and the inessive plural suffix -utes.

In usage, treeningutes answers questions about location or time in the plural. For example: “Treeningutes pööratakse tähelepanu tehnikale” (In trainings, attention is paid to technique) and “Treeningutes kasutatakse erinevaid harjutusi” (In trainings, a variety of exercises are used). It frequently appears in coaching notes, training summaries, and sports journalism when describing ongoing practice rather than a single session. It can also denote the broader training period within a program.

Treeningutes is distinct from related forms such as treeningus (in a training session) and treeningute (genitive of trainings). It should be used when referring to multiple training sessions or to the training context as a whole, rather than to one specific session. The term is widely understood across Estonian sports and education discourse and is a standard part of training-related language.
