Uurimistööga

Uurimistööga is a form of the Estonian noun uurimistöö in instrumental case. It is used to express the instrument, means, or object with which an action is performed, most often in academic or formal contexts. The suffix -ga is attached to the noun stem to form the instrumental case, resulting in uurimistööga.

In everyday and academic Estonian, uurimistööga is commonly used to indicate involvement with research work or to refer to tasks that involve research activities. It appears in constructions such as tegelema uurimistööga (to engage in research work), töötama uurimistööga (to work with research), and related phrases like uurimistööga seotud ülesanded (tasks related to the research work) or uurimistööga seotud andmed (data related to the research work). The instrumental form answers questions such as millega? (with what/with which) or millega? (with what) in appropriate contexts.

Uurimistöö itself refers to the substance of research activity, such as a thesis, project, or broader investigative work. Uurimistööga tegelemine is a common description of the activity of conducting or developing such work, often encountered in university programs, research projects, and scholarly writing.

Notes on usage: uurimistööga is not a separate thematic concept but a grammatical form that enables expressing involvement, means, or relation to research work. Its interpretation depends on surrounding verbs and nouns, and it frequently appears in formal and educational texts.
