Võitlustega

Võitlustega is an Estonian word form meaning “with fights” or “along with struggles.” It is the comitative plural form of võitlus, a noun that denotes a fight, struggle, or conflict. In usage, võitlustega typically appears in phrases that describe multiple struggles or conflicts in relation to something else, rather than standing alone as a single concept.

Etymology: Võitlus is derived from the verb võita (to win) or võitma, with the abstract noun suffix -lus. The comitative ending -tega attaches to the stem to express accompaniment or association, yielding võitlustega for “with fights/struggles.”

Usage: The term is common in formal, historical, or literary Estonian. It can refer to physical battles, but also to social, political, or personal struggles. It is usually part of a larger phrase that specifies the domain or context of the struggle, such as võitlustega seotud küsimused (issues related to the struggles) or võitlustega kaasnenud muutused (changes accompanying the struggles).

See also: võitlus, võitlema, konflikt. Võitlustega is not a standalone concept but a grammatical form used within phrases to convey the idea of multiple struggles associated with a subject being discussed.
