Varustajatega

Varustajatega is the Estonian comitative form meaning “with sponsors.” It is formed from varustaja (sponsor, provider) with the comitative suffix -ga, typically indicating accompaniment, collaboration, or partnership in plural form. The construction is used in formal and semi-formal contexts to describe activities or arrangements that involve sponsorship or material support from multiple sponsors.

Usage and scope: Varustajatega describes situations where sponsors provide funding, equipment, or other resources. It is commonly found in business reporting, cultural programming, sports administration, and journalism when noting partnerships or financial backing. The phrase often appears in forms such as varustajatega koostöö (cooperation with sponsors) or koostöös varustajatega (in cooperation with sponsors). It can accompany nouns referencing projects, events, or organizations to emphasize sponsor involvement.

Grammar notes: In Estonian, the comitative case marks accompaniment or association and attaches as -ga to the noun in its plural form. Varustajatega is therefore a homogeneous, plural expression used with verbs or nouns that describe joint activities or funding arrangements.
