Operatsiooniga

Operatsiooniga is the instrumental/comitative form of the Estonian noun operatsioon (operation). It is formed by adding the suffix -iga to the stem and is used to indicate means, accompaniment, or association with the operation. In many contexts it translates to “with the operation” in English, though its exact meaning depends on the sentence.

In usage, operatsiooniga appears in medical, technical, and formal texts as well as everyday language. It can refer to something accomplished by means of an operation, something that accompanies an operation, or aspects related to the operation. For example, operatsiooniga kaasneb taastumisaeg means “a recovery period accompanies the operation,” and operatsiooniga seotud komplikatsioonid means “complications related to the operation.” The phrase operatsiooniga seoses can be used to say “in connection with the operation.”

Grammatically, operatsiooniga is the standard form for the instrumental/comitative case of operatsioon. It is commonly found in collocations such as operatsiooniga seotud, operatsiooniga seoses, and similar phrases describing relation to or involvement with the operation. The word can refer to surgical procedures as well as other kinds of operations (military, mathematical, or procedural contexts), depending on the surrounding discourse.

Etymology and usage notes: operatsioon digests from the word opération in French, reflecting its loanword status in Estonian. The suffix -iga is a productive estonian morpheme used to express “with” in instrumental or comitative meaning, giving the phrase its characteristic sense of means or association.
