Määradega

Määradega is an Estonian grammatical form belonging to the comitative construction. It expresses accompaniment by specific limits, specifications, or regulations. The term is not a separate concept but a form created by attaching the comitative suffix -ga to the genitive plural of the noun määr, yielding määradega.

In usage, määradega functions as an adverbial modifier indicating that something is carried out under or constrained by certain standards or terms. It is most common in technical, legal, and administrative writing, where actions, products, or processes are described as being done “with the specifications” or “under the limits” defined by relevant documents or regulations.

Formation and meaning aside, määradega can be paraphrased in English as “with the specifications,” “under the limits,” or “in accordance with the determinations.” The sense depends on context, and it often appears together with nouns such as protsess, toode, nõuded, or standardid to specify the conditions or constraints that apply.

Examples:

- Protsessi tuleb läbi viia määradega, mis on kirjeldatud standardites.

- Tarnitav toode peab vastama määradega kirjeldatud nõuetele.

See is a typical example of how Estonian uses the comitative suffix -ga on the genitive plural to form phrases that express accompaniment by or association with specified constraints.
