Vestlusega

Vestlusega is the Estonian comitative or instrumental form of the noun vestlus, meaning "conversation" or "dialogue." It is used to indicate accompaniment or the means by which an action is performed, roughly translating as "with a discussion" or "through conversation."

Formation and usage context: Vestlusega is formed from vestlus with the comitative suffix -ga, resulting in vestlusega. The comitative construction in Estonian often expresses that something is done with the aid of or through a particular medium, in this case a conversation or dialogue. It is common in formal or written Estonian, especially in contexts involving negotiation, discussion, or mediation.

Examples: Läbirääkimised toimusid vestlusega. (The negotiations took place through discussion.) Otsuse jõuti vestlusega. (The decision was reached through conversation.)

Notes: Vestlusega is the singular comitative form; related forms exist for other cases and numbers (for example, vestluse in the genitive, vestlused in the plural). The term is closely related to vestlus (dialogue) and to the broader Estonian system of cases used to express means, instrument, or accompaniment.
