Õppeainega

Õppeainega is the comitative or instrumental form of the Estonian noun õppeaine, which means a school subject or course. In Estonian grammar, the suffix -ga expresses accompaniment, association, or means, and õppeainega therefore denotes “with the subject” or “related to the subject.” The form is used to indicate a relationship between a noun and a specific subject within educational or curriculum contexts.

In usage, õppeainega can appear in phrases that describe materials, activities, or concepts connected to a particular subject. It is common in school-related texts to refer to resources, tasks, or discussions that pertain to a specific course. For example, õppeainega seotud materjalid means materials related to the subject, and õppeainega seotud projekt means a project related to the subject. The form helps to specify the focus on a particular subject within broader statements about education or learning.

Plural form and related constructions exist as well. The instrumental plural is õppeainetega, used to mean “with the subjects” or “in relation to the subjects.” Examples include õppeainetega seotud arutelud, discussions related to multiple subjects, or õppeainetega seotud uuringud, studies connected with several courses. Overall, õppeainega is a standard grammatical tool in Estonian to express association with a school subject in a concise, neutral manner.
