asutustega

Asutustega is the comitative plural form of the Estonian noun asutus, meaning "institution" or "organization." The comitative is formed in Estonian by taking the genitive plural of the noun (asutuste) and adding the suffix -ga, resulting in asutustega. The form is used to express "with" or "together with" institutions, typically as participants in an action or context.

Use of asutustega is common in formal, administrative, or collaborative contexts where multiple institutions are involved. It indicates accompaniment or involvement of more than one institution rather than individuals.

Examples include:

Me kohtusime erinevate asutustega. (We met with various institutions.)

Projekt toimib koostöös asutustega. (The project operates in cooperation with institutions.)

In everyday speech, speakers may refer to institutions by name rather than using the comitative form, but asutustega remains a standard grammatical construction when the action explicitly involves multiple institutions.
