kasutustega

Kasutustega is an Estonian word that functions as the comitative plural form of the noun kasutus, meaning use or usage. In Estonian, the comitative case expresses accompaniment or association and is formed by adding the suffix -ga to the genitive form of a noun. For kasutus, the genitive plural is kasutuste, and the comitative plural becomes kasutustega, yielding the sense “with uses” or “with the uses/applications” of something.

The term is primarily found in formal or technical writing, such as product descriptions, specifications, or legal documents, where there is a need to enumerate or discuss multiple applications or usages. It is not common in everyday speech, where simpler expressions like uses or applications are typically used without the comitative construction.

Usage notes:

- Used to describe something that has or relates to several uses or applications.

- Often appears in lists or comparative descriptions of features and capabilities.

- Typically appears in written Estonian rather than common spoken language.

Etymology and grammar:

- Derived from kasutus (use) plus the genitive plural kasutuste, with the comitative suffix -ga to form kasutusega (singular) and kasutustega (plural).

Related forms:

- kasutus (nominative singular)
