Hinnangutega

Hinnangutega is an Estonian grammatical form used to express accompaniment with ratings or evaluations. It is formed by taking the genitive plural hinnangute and adding the comitative suffix -ga, yielding hinnangutega. The corresponding singular form is hinnanguga, meaning “with the assessment” or “with the rating.” The comitative suffix indicates accompaniment or inclusion and is used with nouns to describe things that come with accompanying data or evaluations.

In practice, hinnangutega is commonly found in formal writing, such as reports, overviews, and datasets, where the text notes that something is accompanied by ratings. For example: hinnangutega dokument (a document with ratings), hinnangutega ülevaade (an overview with ratings), andmestik hinnangutega (a dataset with ratings). The phrase is a typical illustration of how Estonian forms the comitative by adding -ga to the genitive form of a noun; the plural form hinnangutega corresponds to “with the ratings” rather than “with a rating.”

Notes: It is primarily a grammatical construction rather than a semantic category of its own, and its use is more common in written or technical language. In everyday speech, speakers may prefer alternative expressions such as “hindamisega” (with assessment) or simpler constructions.
