Kooslusega

Kooslusega is an Estonian word-form that derives from the noun kooslus, which means a group, ensemble, or collection. The form kooslusega is used to express accompaniment, association, or instrumentality with a group or assortment. In Estonian grammar, this construction is created by taking the genitive base koosluse and adding the suffix -ga, signaling “with” or “together with.”

Etymology and morphology: The base word kooslus denotes a set or assembled arrangement of people, things, or elements. When combined with the suffix -ga, the resulting vorm kooslusega conveys that something is done in conjunction with that group or is in the presence of the group. This form is typically used in written and formal Estonian to specify collaboration, participation, or co-activity.

Usage: Kooslusega appears in contexts where the involvement or accompaniment of a group is foregrounded. It can modify verbs or serve in noun phrases that describe actions carried out together with others. The construction is common in academic, administrative, historical, and descriptive prose where precise specification of companions or partners is required.

Relation to related terms: The basic noun kooslus (group, ensemble) forms other case- and number-specific variants, such as koosluse (genitive), kooslused (plural), and so on. The kooseos with -ga is one member of the broader comitative/instrumental system in Estonian.
