ennevaade

Ennevaade is an Estonian noun meaning a preview or glimpse of something to come. The word is formed from enne- meaning “before” and vaade meaning “view” or “outlook,” and it is used to describe an early look at forthcoming content, events, or features.

In media and communications, ennevaade commonly refers to teasers, trailers, or short previews that give audiences a sense of upcoming programs, films, games, or releases. It can also describe advance summaries or announcements published before a major release, intended to generate interest without revealing full details.

Beyond media, the term is used in planning and product development to denote a forward-looking overview or forecast of future work. An ennevaade in this context provides an anticipatory outline of planned features or milestones, rather than a complete specification. It may appear in roadmaps, marketing plans, or pre-release documentation to set expectations and guide early feedback.

Usage notes and related terms: ennevaade is primarily used in Estonian-language texts. In other languages, terms such as teaser, trailer, or preview are often employed as equivalents. In narrative contexts, foreshadowing serves a related idea, though ennevaade is typically oriented toward previews of forthcoming content rather than literary devices.
