Kopeerimisega

Kopeerimisega is Estonian for “with copying” or “by copying,” and functions as an instrumental form derived from the noun kopeerimine (copying). It denotes the means or method by which an action is carried out and is used in both everyday and formal language to describe processes that rely on copying.

Etymology and grammar: Kopeerimine comes from kopeerima (to copy), and the suffix -ga marks the instrumental, indicating instrument or accompanying circumstance. Kopeerimisega is typically used to express that copying is the method, rather than the agent, of an action. It can appear in phrases such as kopeerimisega seotud (related to copying) or tegelemine kopeerimisega (engaging in copying).

Usage: In practical texts, kopeerimisega signals that the subject conducts or enables an action through copying. Examples include: Failide varundamine toimus kopeerimisega (The backup of files was performed by copying); Kopeerimisega seotud tegevuste jälgimine on oluline (Monitoring copying-related activities is important). The form is common in technical, legal, and policy-oriented writing when describing procedures, compliance, or effects that arise from copying activities.

Legal and ethical context: In copyright law, copying is subject to restrictions and exemptions. Discussions that use kopeerimisega often address issues such as rights, permissions, and controls over replicated content. Ethical considerations include respecting authors’ rights, avoiding unauthorized duplication, and ensuring legitimate use under licenses or exemptions.
