Vaatajatega

Vaatajatega is an Estonian grammatical form meaning “with spectators.” It is the comitative construction derived from the noun vaataja (spectator or viewer). The form vaatajatega is created by taking the genitive plural vaatajate and adding the comitative suffix -ga, yielding vaatajatega.

In usage, vaatajatega expresses accompaniment or presence of spectators in connection with an action or event. It is commonly found in descriptive or journalistic writing about public events, performances, or sports, where the presence of an audience is relevant to the sentence. For example, a sentence might convey that a performance took place vaatajatega, signaling that spectators were involved or present.

Related terms include vaataja (singular spectator/viewer) and vaatajaskond (the audience). In everyday language, speakers may also use phrases like koos vaatajatega (“together with spectators”) to emphasize accompaniment. Vaatajatega is a standard linguistic construction in Estonian and appears in formal descriptions of events as well as in narrative prose.
