Vähendamisega

Vähendamisega is an Estonian linguistic form meaning “with reduction” or “by reducing.” It is the instrumental form of the noun vähendamine, which denotes the act of reducing or diminishing something. The word is formed from the genitive singular of vähendamine (vähendamise) plus the instrumental suffix -ga, yielding vähendamisega to express means, method, or accompanying circumstance.

In usage, vähendamisega is used to indicate how an action is performed or what instrument or method is involved. It often functions as an adjunct that modifies a verb or clause, and it can appear in formal or technical contexts such as policy, economics, or science. The construction is common in Estonian when describing actions taken to achieve a reduction in costs, emissions, energy use, or other quantities.

Examples:

- Energiakulude vähendamisega on saavutatud märkimisväärne kokkuhoid. (A significant saving has been achieved by reducing energy costs.)

- Vähendamisega seotud meetmed viiakse läbi järgmisel aastal. (Measures related to reduction will be implemented next year.)
