kasutusega

Kasutusega is Estonian a phrase formed from the noun kasutus, meaning usage or utilization, in the genitive kasutuse and the comitative suffix -ga. The resulting form roughly translates to “with usage” or “accompanied by use” and is used to describe things that are associated with use, use terms, or the condition of being used.

Etymology and form: The base word kasutus denotes the act or condition of using something. In Estonian, the genitive form kasutuse can combine with the comitative suffix -ga to create kasutusega, which functions as an attributive or adverbial modifier in sentences. This construction is a standard way to express accompaniment by a quality or characteristic, in this case the concept of usage.

Usage and contexts: Kasutusega appears mainly in formal, technical, or legal texts, as well as in catalogs or archival records, to indicate that an item or resource is connected with specific use conditions, rights, or modes of utilization. In practice, it helps distinguish between objects that are merely available for use and those that come with defined usage terms or are actively in use. In everyday language, the phrase is less common, and more common alternatives for related ideas include kasutus, kasutusõigus or terms like “kasutuses” to denote something being in use.

Related terms: The concept is closely related to kasutus (usage), kasutusõigus (right of use), and kasutamine (utilization or use in practice). These terms are often found together in dictionaries, legal glossaries, and technical documents to describe how resources may be used and under what conditions.
