kujundiga

Kujundiga is an Estonian instrumental case form of the noun kujund, meaning design, form, or shaping. In usage, kujundiga corresponds to the English expression “with design” or “design-oriented,” and it is commonly employed in noun phrases to indicate that a thing incorporates or emphasizes a particular design element.

Grammar and formation: The instrumental case in Estonian is formed by adding the suffix -iga to the stem of the noun. For kujund, this yields kujundiga. The form signals accompaniment, means, or a characteristic feature related to design. It can modify nouns directly in a phrase, as in product labels or descriptions, to convey that the item has a certain design quality.

Usage and context: Kujundiga is frequently found in contexts discussing objects, products, or visuals that feature a specific design. It is useful for describing items where design is a notable attribute, such as branding, graphics, textiles, or furniture. While it primarily serves to denote a design-related aspect, it can also convey a design-oriented perspective when applied to people or concepts in a broader sense.

Examples:

- Kujundiga plakat rõhutab graafilist stiili. (A poster with design emphasizes the graphic style.)

- See kott on kujundiga. (This bag has a design.)

- Kujundiga kotid on sel aastal populaarsed. (Design-oriented bags are popular this year.)

See also: Estonian grammar, instrumental case, kujundus (design), kujundama (to shape, to design). The form reflects the broader use of the instrumental -iga to indicate accompaniment or characteristic features in Estonian.
