informaatikaga

Informaatikaga is the instrumental case form of the Estonian noun informaatika, meaning computer science or informatics. In Estonian grammar, the suffix -ga marks instrumentality or accompaniment, so informaatikaga can translate as “with the informatician” or, in broader contexts, “with informatics” or “together with informatics” depending on usage. The form is common in formal and academic writing to indicate collaboration, means, or involvement.

Informaatika refers to the field dealing with information processing, computation, and information systems. It is a loanword that entered Estonian in the 20th century, connected to the German term Informatik and its international variants such as informatics. The instrumental form informaatikaga is produced through standard Estonian noun declension to express partnership or tool in a sentence.

Usage and examples commonly appear in contexts of collaboration or methodological description. For instance: Koostöös informaatikaga arendatakse uut tarkvaraprogrammi, meaning that a new software program is developed in collaboration with a computer scientist. Protsessi elluviimisel teevad meeskonnaliikmed koostööd informaatikaga, illustrating the instrumental phrase to denote involvement of informatics expertise.

Related concepts include informaatika as a discipline and its practical applications in information technology and computer science. The form informaatikaga is primarily a grammatical tool for specifying with whom or with what the action is conducted, rather than a standalone domain term.
