Reformimisega

Reformimisega is an Estonian instrumental/comitative form derived from the noun reformimine, meaning reform or reforming. It is formed by adding the instrumental suffix -ga to the genitive stem reformimise, which is itself the genitive of reformimine. The result is used to express means, method, or context, roughly translating to “with reforming” or “through reform.”

In usage, reformimisega signals how something is done or the context in which something happens. It often appears with predicates or modifiers that describe relationships to reform, such as seoses, kaasnevad, or seotud. For example: Reformimisega seotud otsused langetati (Decisions related to reform were made). Reformimisega kaasnevad kulud on suurenenud (Costs associated with reform have increased). Protsessi viidi läbi reformimisega seotud meetmete abil (The process was carried out with the help of reform-related measures).

Grammatically, reformimisega functions as an instrumental/comitative construction, indicating means or accompanying circumstances rather than a subject or agent. It is commonly used in formal writing, policy discussions, and analyses of reform processes, where the focus is on the reform as a factor shaping actions or outcomes.

Related terms include reformimine (the noun for reform), reform (loanword), and phrases like reformimisega seoses or reformimisega kaasnevad. The form exemplifies how Estonian uses the instrumental suffix to express “with/through” in relation to abstract nouns such as reform.
