etanooliga

Etanooliga is a term in Estonian used to indicate that something is associated with or contains ethanol. It is formed from the noun etanool (ethanol) and the comitative/instrumental suffix -iga, which yields the meaning “with ethanol” or “containing ethanol.” The phrase is used across scientific, pharmaceutical, culinary, and laboratory contexts to describe solvents, diluents, tinctures, or mixtures where ethanol is the solvent or contributing ingredient.

In usage, etanooliga can modify nouns to specify the presence of ethanol. For example: etanooliga lahjendatud lahus means “a solution diluted with ethanol.” etanooliga segatud koostisosa means “an ingredient mixed with ethanol.” The term can appear in product labels, methods sections, or procedural instructions in Estonian texts.

Chemical context: Ethanol (etanool) is a colorless, volatile, flammable alcohol with the formula C2H5OH. In many preparations, ethanol serves as a solvent, preservative, or extraction medium; etanooliga signals that the substance is carried or prepared using ethanol. Safety considerations apply; ethanol is flammable and can be irritating.

Related terms include etanooli lahustuvus (solubility in ethanol), etanoolipõhised lahused (ethanol-based solutions), and general Estonian chemical terminology.

Origin: The phrase is a standard Estonian construction combining etanool with the instrumental suffix -iga, a common pattern in many languages to express accompaniment or inclusion.
