esitused

Esitused is a plural noun in Estonian that denotes presentations or performances delivered to an audience. Depending on context, the term can refer to artistic performances, such as theater, music, or dance programs, or to formal presentations, lectures, or demonstrations given in educational, professional, or public settings. The exact nuance is determined by accompanying words; for example, art-focused contexts might emphasize performances, while academic or corporate contexts might emphasize talks or demonstrations.

The word derives from the Estonian verb esitada (to present, to exhibit). The noun esitus describes the act or instance of presenting or exhibiting, and esitused is its plural nominative form. Related terms include esitlus for a specific presentation, though usage varies, and esituskunst (presenting art) is a compound found in some contexts.

In usage, esitused commonly appear in event schedules, program notes, and academic or cultural discourse to refer to a set of presentations or performances. For example, a theater program might list several esitused to indicate the lineup, or a conference might feature multiple esitused as talks or demonstrations. The term is neutral and widely understood in Estonian-speaking contexts.
