televisioonides

Televisioonides is the inessive plural form of the Estonian noun televisioon (television). It is used to indicate location inside televisions or within television sets, or more broadly to refer to content or activity occurring on televisions as a medium. The word appears in contexts describing multiple devices or contexts where television screens are involved.

Etymology and morphology: televisioon is a loanword from English television, adapted into Estonian. The plural nominative is televisioonid, the genitive plural is televisioonide, and the inessive plural is televisioonides. The corresponding singular inessive form is televisioonis, meaning “in the television” or “on the television screen.”

Usage notes: In everyday Estonian, televisioonides is commonly used when discussing content that is broadcast or viewable on multiple televisions, or when referring to television as a medium in a collective sense. It may appear in journalism, media studies, advertising, and cultural commentary to describe what is shown or disseminated on TV sets.

Examples:

- Uudised jõudsid televisioonides üle kogu riigi. (The news reached audiences on television across the country.)

- Reklaamikampaania laieneb televisioonides ja sotsiaalmeedias. (The advertising campaign expands to televisions and social media.)
