esinemised

Esinemised is an Estonian noun referring to performances or public appearances. It is used to describe events where artists, groups, or speakers present work on stage or in other public settings, as well as appearances by public figures in non-artistic contexts.

The word derives from the verb esinema (to perform, to take the stage) and the nominalizing suffix -mine. In Estonian, nouns formed in this way pluralize as esinemised in the nominative, so a single performance is esinemine and multiple performances are esinemised. The term is common in cultural reporting, programming, and event listings.

Esinemised can denote both individual acts and a series of events. They occur in theatres, concert halls, festivals, schools, and increasingly in online formats. The phrase is often accompanied by modifiers indicating the type, genre, or venue, for example: "festivalil toimuvad esinemised" (performances will take place at the festival) or "kavas on mitmed esinemised" (there are several performances on the program).

Translations and related terms: In English, esinemised is typically rendered as "performances" or, in some contexts, "appearances." Related Estonian terms include esinemine (the act of performing), esineja (performer), and lavastamine (staging). The word forms part of everyday usage in media, cultural administration, and event planning in Estonia.
