Joonistustega

Joonistustega is an Estonian phrase that translates roughly to “with drawings.” It is the plural instrumental (comitative) form of the noun joonistus (drawing), used to indicate that something is accompanied by or includes drawings. In Estonian, this form is typically attached to the noun rather than used as a standalone noun, and it appears in contexts describing documents, catalogs, or collections that feature illustrations.

The term is commonly found in archival, museum, design, and academic writing. It helps specify the supplementary material associated with a work, such as architectural plans, schematic diagrams, or artistic plates. For example, a catalog or report may be described as having joonistustega to denote that it includes drawings alongside text. Because it functions as a morphological form rather than a separate lexical item, its exact placement within a sentence follows standard Estonian grammar for compound noun phrases.

In use, joonistustega often appears in descriptions or metadata to convey the presence of visual material. It is related to the base noun joonistus (drawing) and to its plural form joonistused (drawings). The phrase is primarily found in formal writing, documentation, and cataloging rather than in everyday casual speech.
