Sõnavaradega

Sõnavaradega is an Estonian grammatical form derived from the noun sõnavara, meaning vocabulary or lexicon. The form is the comitative (instrumental) case, created by adding the suffix -ga to the genitive plural stem sõnavarade, yielding sõnavaradega, which translates roughly as “with vocabularies” or “with a vocabulary set.” It is used to indicate accompaniment, inclusion, or means in noun phrases.

In usage, sõnavaradega commonly appears in language-teaching materials and lexical resources to signal that a resource is provided together with a word list or vocabulary set. Typical collocations include phrases such as harjutused sõnavaradega (exercises with vocabularies), töölehed sõnavaradega (worksheets with vocabularies), and nimekiri sõnavaradega (list with vocabularies). The form functions similarly to other comitative constructions in Estonian, where the suffix communicates that the described item comes with or is accompanied by the specified content.

Morphologically, sõnavaradega is built from sõnavara, its genitive plural sõnavarade, plus the comitative suffix -ga. It does not mark the direct object of a verb; rather, it modifies the surrounding noun or noun phrase to denote accompanying material or resources.

Related terms include sõnavara (vocabulary), leksika (lexicon), and sõnaraamat (dictionary). The construction is part of everyday Estonian usage in educational and lexicographic contexts and illustrates how the comitative case is used to specify bundled or accompanying content.
