Tasumisega

Tasumisega is an Estonian grammatical construction derived from the noun tasumine, meaning payment or remuneration. The form represents the instrumental case and is typically translated as “with payment” or “by payment.” It is used to indicate the means, manner, or accompanying factor in a clause, and it is common in formal or legal language.

Morphology and usage: Tasumisega is formed from the genitive stem tasumise- of tasumine, plus the instrumental suffix -ga. It is not a standalone verb or adjective, but a case form that links to other words in a phrase. Typical collocations include tasumisega seotud (related to payment) and tasumisega kaasnevad (accompanying by payment), as well as phrases describing obligations, costs, or conditions tied to payment.

Common contexts: In legal or contractual texts, tasumisega expresses aspects connected to how or by what means payment is made. It can denote costs, rights, responsibilities, or risks that pertain to payment. It often appears in complex noun phrases where payment is a central reference point.

Examples:

- Tasumisega seotud kulud tuleb katta ostja poolt. (Costs related to payment must be borne by the buyer.)

- Lepingus on kirjeldatud tasumisega kaasnevad riskid. (The contract describes the risks accompanying the payment.)

- Kõik tasumisega seotud küsimused tuleb lahendada enne lepingu sõlmimist. (All payment-related questions must be resolved before signing the contract.)

Relation to tasumine: Tasumisega is closely tied to tasumine as a word-formation, illustrating how Estonian uses the instrumental case to express “with payment” ideas. It is primarily a grammatical tool rather than a stand-alone lexical item, and it occurs mainly in formal prose.
