Käitlemisega

Käitlemisega is the instrumental form of the Estonian noun käitlemine, which means handling, processing, or dealing with something. The form is created from the genitive singular käitlemise plus the instrumental suffix -ga, and it expresses the means or method by which an action is performed, or the accompanying circumstances in which something occurs. In Estonian, this construction is commonly used in formal and technical contexts to specify how something is handled or processed.

Käitlemisega is frequently found in safety, regulatory, manufacturing, and logistics language. It appears in sentences that describe methods, requirements, or risks related to handling or processing, and it often conveys a sense of procedure or compliance. For example, Käitlemisega seotud riskid tuleb hinnata means “The risks associated with handling must be assessed,” and Käitlemisega seotud juhendid on koostatud means “The handling-related guidelines have been prepared.” These usages show how the form functions as a link between an action and the means by which it is carried out.

Grammatical note: käitlemisega is a fixed construction in Estonian grammar. It typically accompanies verbs and nouns that denote activities of handling or processing, and it can pair with adjectives or nouns to form phrases describing efficiency, safety, or regulatory compliance. As with other instrumental forms, its exact placement depends on the sentence structure and emphasis.
