tutvustamine

Tutvustamine is the act of presenting someone or something to others. It covers introductions in social settings, professional meetings, and informational or promotional contexts. A person may be introduced to a group, or ideas, products, or organizations may be introduced to an audience.

The term is formed from the verb tutvustada, meaning to introduce, with the noun-forming suffix -mine, which denotes an action or process. As a concept, tutvustamine can refer to both informal, spontaneous greetings and formal, planned presentations.

Common contexts for tutvustamine include personal introductions at gatherings, introductions in meetings or conferences, and the presentation of topics, projects, or companies to a broader audience. In written form, tutvustamine appears in biographical notes, program descriptions, product briefings, and introductory passages in reports or manuals.

A typical tutvustamine includes key information such as names, roles or affiliations, and the purpose of the introduction, followed by a concise overview of relevant background or context. For product or topic introductions, it may also highlight function, significance, and relevance to the audience.

Etiquette and style vary with formality and culture. In Estonian contexts, clear, concise, and courteous delivery is valued, with attention to audience needs and appropriate ordering of information. While tutvustamine focuses on the act itself, related terms include tutvustus (an introduction or briefing) and tutvustada (to introduce).
