formatidega

Formatidega is an Estonian linguistic term that refers to the instrumental plural form of the noun meaning “format.” It is used to express accompaniment or association with formats and is common in discussions about digital documents, media formats, and data interchange. As a word form, formatidega denotes “with formats” or “together with formats” in a phrase.

In Estonian grammar, formatidega is formed by adding the comitative/instrumental plural suffix -idega to the base noun for format. The suffix -idega conveys a sense of accompaniment or inclusion, similar to “with” in English, but extended to multiple formats. Because it marks plural formats, formatidega often appears in contexts that involve several formats being considered, supplied, or described.

Usage and context often involve technical writing, archival descriptions, or discussions of software and document workflows, where speakers want to specify which formats are involved or supported. The form is versatile for enumerating formats or indicating parallel applicability, such as when outlining compatibility, delivery options, or processing pipelines.
