esitusjuhistena

Esitusjuhistena is a term used in Estonian-language contexts to describe the role or function of guiding a presentation. It can refer to a person who leads a talk, a written or digital aid that structures the talk, or a software feature that provides prompts, templates, and transitions to assist the presenter. In all uses, the emphasis is on guidance and flow rather than on the content itself.

Etymology and grammar: the word is formed from esitus (presentation) and juhis (guide, instruction) with the suffix -ena, which marks the role of “as a guide.” In this sense, esitusjuhistena describes the speaker’s or the material’s function during a presentation rather than a fixed identity.

Usage and context: esitusjuhistena is a relatively niche or neologistic term. It appears primarily in discussions of rhetoric, pedagogy, and corporate training where the focus is on how guidance is provided to an audience. It can describe an individual who directs the proceedings, or a tool that helps manage timing, structure, and transitions.

Examples:

- Ta esitas ettekande esitusjuhistena, jäädes tähelepanu keskmesse ja juhindudes ettevalmistatud juhistest. (She presented as a presentation guide, staying centered and following prepared prompts.)

- Tarkvara võib toimida esitusjuhistena, kuvades järjestikused punktid ja aitate kontrollida ajakava. (Software can act as a presentation guide, displaying the sequential points and helping manage the schedule.)

See also: esitus, juhis, juhend. Notes: Because esitusjuhistena is a specialized term, its precise usage may vary by author or organization.
