Identiteetidega

In academic writing as well as everyday speech, identiteetidega helps denote association or accompaniment with diverse personal, social, or digital identities.

Formation and usage: In Estonian, the comitative form is built by attaching a suffix to the noun to signal accompaniment.

For example, a sentence might discuss research findings related to identiteetidega seotud küsimused, meaning questions related to identities.

Contexts: Identiteetidega appears in sociolinguistic and cultural studies, discussions of intersectionality and identity politics, and analyses of digital identity management and online culture. It is used to describe how people navigate multiple identity facets—such as cultural, gender, ethnic, or online personas—in social spaces, institutions, and media. The term can appear in theoretical work as well as practical discussions about inclusion, representation, and governance of identities within organizations or platforms.
