Nukkudega

Nukkudega is an Estonian term meaning “with dolls” and functions as a comitative form of the noun nukk (doll). The form is created by combining the genitive plural of the noun (nukkude) with the comitative suffix -ga, producing nukkudega. It is used to indicate accompaniment or association with dolls in a sentence, rather than as a standalone noun.

In everyday Estonian, nukkudega appears in contexts such as play, education, and puppetry. For example, one might say “Ma mängisin nukkudega” to mean “I played with dolls,” or describe a classroom activity where children learn social skills through playing with dolls: “Lasteaias õpetatakse lastele nukkudega mängimise kaudu sotsiaalseid oskusi.”

Nukkudega is closely related to the base noun nukk (singular), nukud (plural nominative), and to related terms such as nukuteater (puppet theatre), which also draws on dolls or puppets as performers. Like other comitative forms in Estonian, the exact spelling can reflect number and case in broader sentences, but the common usage with dolls denotes an activity or accompanying object.

Overall, nukkudega is a standard grammatical construction in Estonian for describing interactions or activities involving dolls, and it fits within the broader family of comitative forms used to express accompaniment with objects.
