diskussiooniga

Diskussiooniga is the instrumental/comitative form of the Estonian noun diskussioon, meaning discussion. In Estonian, the comitative/instrumental case is formed with the suffix -ga or its allomorphic -iga, attached to the noun stem. Diskussiooniga thus literally means “with the discussion” and is used to express accompaniment, the means by which something is done, or a context related to the discussion.

The form serves several functions in sentences. It can indicate that something occurred together with the discussion, or that the discussion was a source or context for another matter. It may also denote means or accompaniment when describing actions performed in relation to the discussion. In many cases, diskussiooniga can be translated as “with the discussion” or, more loosely, “in connection with the discussion.”

Examples include: Diskussiooniga kaasnesid uued mõtted. (New ideas accompanied the discussion.) Töö käis diskussiooniga paralleelselt. (The work proceeded in parallel with the discussion.) Artiklis käsitletakse diskussiooniga seotud teemasid. (The article addresses topics related to the discussion.) Diskussiooniga seotud materjalid on arhiveeritud. (Materials related to the discussion are archived.)

In practice, diskussiooniga often appears with adjectives like seotud (related) or kaasnenud (accompanied) to specify the nature of the relationship to the discussion. It is common in formal writing, journalism, and academic texts, where precise indication of context or accompaniment is useful.
