Redigeerimisega

Redigeerimisega is a grammatical construction in Estonian that combines the noun redigeerimine (editing) with the comitative suffix -ga, meaning “with editing” or “by means of editing.” It is used to indicate instrument, means, or an accompanying factor in relation to editing. The form appears in noun phrases and adverbial expressions, often answering questions such as “mille abil?” or “millega?”

In practice, redigeerimisega occurs in contexts connected to editing processes, publishing, journalism, and academic work. It is frequently used in phrases like redigeerimisega seotud ülesanded (tasks related to editing), redigeerimisega kaasnevad parandused (corrections that accompany editing), or toimetuse kontekstis redigeerimisega tegelemine (work involved in editing within the editorial office). The construction signals that the action or attribute is tied to the editing activity.

Etymology and grammar: redigeerimine is derived from the Estonian verb redigeerima, itself borrowed from French rédiger. The suffix -ga marks comitative/instrumental relation, so redigeerimisega denotes “with editing” or “through editing.” It is typically not used as a standalone word but as part of larger noun phrases or adverbial modifiers. Related terms include redigeerimine (the act of editing), redigeerimisega seotud (editing-related), and toimetamine (editing or editing work in publishing).
