kahekordistades

Kahekordistades is an Estonian verb form, the adverbial participle (gerund) of kahekordistama, meaning “doubling” or “in the act of doubling.” It denotes a concurrent or instrumental action, typically describing how something is done or the method by which a result is achieved. The form is used in formal or technical prose to express that doubling is the means, cause, or accompanying action of the main clause.

In usage, kahekordistades introduces actions that accompany or enable doubling. It often appears in explanatory or analytical contexts, where the writer notes that an outcome followed from the process of doubling something, such as investments or production. The construction functions similarly to other Estonian adverbial participles, linking a subordinate action to the main statement without using a separate conjunction.

Examples:

- Kahekordistades investeeringuid, ettevõte saavutas suurema tootluse. (By doubling investments, the company achieved higher returns.)

- Kahekordistades tootmist, suutsime vastata kasvavale nõudlusele. (By doubling production, we were able to meet rising demand.)

Related terms include kahekordne (double, twofold), kahekordistama (to double), kahekordistamine (doubling), and kahekordistunud (doubled). Kahekordistades is most common in technical, economic, or analytical writing, where precise description of doubling as a methodological step or outcome is required. The form helps convey cause-and-effect or procedural nuance without lengthy subordinate clauses.
