kriisiga

Kriisiga is the comitative form of the Estonian noun kriis, meaning crisis. The form expresses accompaniment, association, or relation to a crisis, often signaling the matter being addressed or discussed. It is frequently used in combination with verbs and adjectives to describe actions or states connected to a crisis.

Formation: In Estonian, the comitative case is formed by adding the suffix -ga to the noun’s base form. For kriis this yields kriisiga. The form contrasts with kriisis (in a crisis) and with kriisi (genitive), helping to distinguish things done with or in relation to a crisis.

Usage: Kriisiga appears in policy, business, and media texts when referring to issues tied to a crisis. Examples include kriisiga tegelemine (dealing with a crisis), kriisiga seotud otsused (crisis-related decisions), and arutelu kriisiga seoses (debate in connection with the crisis). In some contexts, kriisiga can also express the aspect of actions taken in relation to a crisis, such as kriisiga seotud meetmed (measures related to the crisis).

Notes: The exact meaning depends on context and surrounding words. For expressing “during a crisis,” Estonian uses kriisis or kriisi ajal rather than kriisiga. The form kriisiga remains a standard grammatical option for indicating association with a crisis.
