Väljenditega

Väljenditega is an Estonian noun form that functions as the comitative plural of väljend, meaning expression, phrase, or idiom. In Estonian, the comitative expresses accompaniment or association and is formed by taking the genitive form of a noun and adding the suffix -ga. For the word väljend, the genitive plural is väljendite, so the comitative plural becomes väljenditega. The singular comitative is väljendiga, while the nominative plural is väljendid and the genitive plural is väljendite.

The core meaning of väljend is a fixed expression, idiom, or set phrase used in language. Väljenditega, therefore, denotes “with expressions” or “together with expressions” and is used when referring to a group of expressions as a unit in linguistic description, discussion of phraseology, or textual analysis. It appears mainly in grammatical or linguistic contexts rather than in everyday speech, where speakers typically use other cases to convey closeness or accompaniment.

Related terms include väljend (the base noun), väljendid (nominative plural), and väljendite (genitive plural). The concept sits within the study of Estonian phraseology and morphology, illustrating how the comitative construction is formed and applied to plural nouns.
