Rakkudega

Rakkudega is an Estonian term meaning "with cells" that is used to describe materials, cultures, and systems containing cells. The form is a comitative construction built from the plural noun rakud (cells) plus the comitative suffix -ga, yielding rakudega.

In usage, rakudega modifies a following noun, e.g., rakkudega kultuur (cell culture), rakkudega biomaterjal (cell-containing biomaterial), rakkudega lahus (cell-containing solution). It is common in academic and clinical writing to specify whether a sample or construct includes cells.

Linguistic notes: It is a compound, not a standalone noun; the word can agree in number and case with the noun it modifies. The English equivalents are "with cells" or "cell-containing", depending on context.
