Kokkuvõttega

Kokkuvõttega is a grammatical form in Estonian that means “with a summary” or “together with the summary.” It is created by attaching the comitative suffix -ga to the noun kokkuvõte (summary), indicating accompaniment or inclusion of a summary with another document or item. The phrase is commonly used in formal writing to signal that a document is being provided together with a summary.

Etymology and form: The base word kokkuvõte means a summary or recap. It derives from the notion of bringing elements together for a concise presentation, typically linked to the idea of summarizing. The comitative suffix -ga attaches to nouns to express “with” or “together with,” yielding forms such as aruandega (with a report) or kokkuvõttega (with a summary). Thus, kokkuvõttega literally conveys “with the summary” and functions as a modifier of the accompanying item or materials.

Usage: In practice, kokkuvõttega is used to indicate that something is provided or presented along with a summary. It is common in official documents, academic papers, and business communications when the author wants to emphasize that a concise summary accompanies the primary material. The form is typically used with a noun that denotes the accompanying item, for example: “Aruanne koos kokkuvõttega esitati juhatusele” (The report with the summary was presented to the board) or “Palun esitage dokumendid koos kokkuvõttega” (Please submit the documents with the summary).
