Eelistustes is the inessive plural form of the Estonian noun eelistus, which means a preference, choice, or option.

Examples of usage include statements about settings: for instance, “Kasutaja eelistustes on keel ja teavituste seaded” (In the user’s preferences there are language and notification settings), or “Rakenduse seadetes eelistustes saab määrata kuvamisviisi” (In the app’s settings, in the preferences, you can set the display mode).
