kontaktidega

Kontaktidega is an Estonian term meaning "with contacts." It is the comitative plural form of the noun kontakt (contact). In Estonian, the comitative case marks accompaniment or involvement, and kontaktidega literally translates to “with contacts.” The form is commonly used to describe actions carried out together with a set of contacts, such as people in a professional network or entries in a contact list, and it appears in business, journalism, and everyday speech.

Morphology and usage: The base noun kontakt refers to a person or organization known or reachable. The plural kontaktid means “contacts.” The comitative form kontaktidega indicates that an action is performed with those contacts, for example with verbs like suhtlema (to communicate) or teha koostööd (to collaborate). It is also found after prepositions that govern the comitative.

Examples: Ma suhtlen kontaktidega iga nädal. (I communicate with my contacts every week.) Ta teeb koostööd kontaktidega projektis. (He collaborates with his contacts on the project.) Ettevõte laiendas oma võrgustikku kontaktidega. (The company expanded its network with its contacts.)
