Reaalsusega

Reaalsusega is a form in Estonian derived from the noun reaalsus (reality) combined with the comitative suffix -ga, used to express accompaniment or relation to reality. It functions as a prepositional or adverbial phrase element that can indicate alignment with reality, consideration of real conditions, or something being connected to what is real.

In usage, reaalsusega appears in phrases such as reaalsusega kooskõlas (in accordance with reality), reaalsusega arvestades (taking reality into account), and reaalsusega seotud (related to reality). It is common in formal writing, journalism, and philosophical or scientific discourse, where distinctions between real conditions and hypothetical or fictional scenarios are important. For example: Käitumine peab olema reaalsusega kooskõlas. Projekt lähtub reaalsusega arvestamisest. Uuringu järeldused peavad heitma valgust reaalsusega seotud faktilistele andmetele.

Etymologically, reaalsusega is formed from the base reaalsus plus the comitative suffix -ga, yielding a construction that literally means “with reality” or “in relation to reality.” The form is versatile and often appears in compound expressions where the speaker aims to ground statements, plans, or evaluations in observable reality rather than in theory alone.
