Puuviljadega

Puuviljadega is the Estonian comitative form meaning "with fruits." It is formed from puuvili (fruit) in the genitive plural puuviljade and the comitative suffix -ga, and is used to indicate that something includes or is served with fruit ingredients, toppings, or accompaniment.

In usage, puuviljadega commonly appears in descriptions of foods and beverages. It signals that the item contains fruit or is prepared together with fruit. Examples include puuviljadega salat (fruit salad), puuviljadega jogurt (fruit yogurt), and magustoit puuviljadega (dessert with fruit). The term functions as a descriptive modifier rather than as the name of a specific dish.

The form is most often encountered in culinary contexts such as menus, recipes, nutrition labeling, and food writing. It contrasts with phrases like puuviljadeta, meaning "without fruits," and is part of the broader Estonian system of comitative and instrumental expressions formed with -ga.

In broader language use, puuviljadega can appear in instructional or marketing texts to denote fruit-inclusive products or combinations. It reflects the importance of fruit in Estonian cuisine and seasonal eating, where fruit pairings are commonly highlighted.
