Puhtusega

Puhtusega is a grammatical form in Estonian derived from the noun puhtus, meaning cleanliness or purity. It is created by taking the genitive singular puhtuse and attaching the comitative suffix -ga, yielding puhtusega. This construction expresses manner or instrument, roughly translating to “with cleanliness” or “with purity” in English. In usage, puhtusega functions as an adverbial modifier describing how an action is performed.

In practical terms, puhtusega appears mainly in formal or technical contexts, such as hygiene, safety, and quality control, where adherence to cleanliness or purity standards is important. It often accompanies verbs of performing procedures, cleaning, handling materials, or following regulations.

Examples of usage include sentences like: Laboris tuleb tööd teha puhtusega järgides kõiki standardeid (In the lab, work must be done with cleanliness in accordance with all standards). Toodetud tooted vastavad puhtusega seotud nõuetele (The produced products meet the cleanliness-related requirements). Protseduur tuleb läbi viia puhtusega (The procedure must be carried out with cleanliness).

Etymology and related forms: puhtusega is formed from puhtus (cleanliness, purity) with the comitative suffix -ga added to the genitive puhtuse. Related terms include puhtus (cleanliness/purity), hügieen (hygiene), and sanitaar- or puhastus- as prefixes in related regulatory language.
