esitysten

Esitysten is Finnish for the genitive plural of the noun esitys, which means a show, performance, presentation, or display. As a grammatical form, esitysten functions to indicate possession or association with more than one such event, for example “esitysten määrä” (the number of performances) or “esitysten aikataulut” (the schedules of performances).

In use, esitysten appears in noun phrases that describe or modify other nouns. It does not carry a standalone meaning beyond its role as a grammatical inflection. The form is typical of Finnish where the genitive plural suffixes -en are attached to the plural stem of the base noun. For esitys, the nominative plural is esitykset, the genitive singular is esityksen, and the genitive plural is esitysten.

Common contexts include theatre, concert, film, and exhibition environments, where one speaks of the organization, planning, or programs of multiple performances. Examples of phrases include esitysten määrä, esitysten aikataulut, esitysten järjestäminen, and esitysten ohjelmat. The usage is formal and widely found in arts journalism, event planning, and cultural administration.

Notes on nuance: esitys is a broad term, so esitysten can refer to any plural set of performances or presentations, whether in live venues or other display contexts. The genitive plural form helps link the concept of performances to related nouns (amount, schedule, planning, program, etc.) within a sentence, maintaining a neutral, descriptive tone typical of encyclopedia entries.
