Signaaliga

Signaaliga is an Estonian word formed by adding the comitative or instrumental suffix -ga to the noun signaal (signal). The resulting form denotes accompaniment or a tool-based relation, meaning “with a signal” or “having a signal.” It is used in both technical and everyday language to describe objects, systems, or actions that rely on a signal.

In usage, signaaliga describes things that operate, function, or are defined by the presence of a signal. For example, a signaaliga süsteem refers to a system that relies on a signal, and a signaaliga alarm describes an alarm that is activated by a signal. The term can appear in descriptions of electronics, telecommunications, and control processes where signaling plays a central role. It contrasts with signaalita, meaning “without a signal,” which is used to indicate the absence of signaling.

Morphologically, signaaliga is built from signaal plus the suffix -ga, which in Estonian marks accompaniment or instrumentality. The form follows standard Estonian inflection, and when describing multiple signals, the plural comitative would be signaalidega. The word sits within normal noun phrase construction and agrees with surrounding modifiers in the phrase structure.
