dermatoloogiga

Dermatoloogiga is the instrumental/comitative form of the Estonian noun dermatoloog, meaning dermatologist. It is used to express “with a dermatologist” or “together with a dermatologist,” indicating accompaniment or the means by which an action is performed. The form is created by adding the comitative suffix -ga to the noun, with a slight phonological adjustment in some cases; for dermatoloog, the result is dermatoloogiga. The plural form is dermatoloogidega.

Usage notes:

- Dermatoloogiga is commonly used when referring to actions done in the presence or assistance of a dermatologist. For example, “Ma kohtusin dermatoloogiga” means I met with a dermatologist, and “Me rääkisime dermatoloogiga tema nahaprobleemidest” means We talked with a dermatologist about his/her skin problems.

- The word can also appear in expressions that denote accompaniment, such as “koos dermatoloogiga,” though dermatoloogiga often suffices on its own depending on the verb.

- In Estonian, the comitative case is used with a wide range of verbs that describe social interaction or collaboration, as well as instrumental actions.
