koolidega

Koolidega is an Estonian grammatical form that expresses accompaniment or association with schools. It is formed by taking the genitive plural of kool (koolide) and adding the comitative suffix -ga, yielding koolidega. The form is used to indicate partnership, collaboration, or involvement with multiple educational institutions, often in formal or policy-related language.

In use, koolidega typically appears in constructions that describe cooperation or interaction with schools. For example: Koolidega koostöö on Eesti haridussüsteemis oluline. Koolidega seotud projektid kaasavad erinevaid asutusi ja partnerid. In contexts discussing policy, reporting, or academic work, the phrase helps specify that activities or agreements concern the schools as entities.

Etymology and notes: koolidega is not a standalone noun but a grammatical form created by combining the genitive plural koolide with the comitative suffix -ga. This form is common in formal writing, press materials, and governmental or institutional documents when referring to partnerships or activities involving schools. In everyday speech, speakers might use alternatives such as koos koolidega or koostöös koolidega depending on register, but koolidega remains a standard, neutral option in written Estonian.
