küsimusega

Küsimusega is the instrumental or comitative form of the Estonian noun küsimus, meaning “with a question.” It is formed by adding the suffix -ga to the genitive stem tüü of the noun, yielding the singular form küsimusega. The plural instrumental form is küsimustega. This construction expresses instrument, means, or accompaniment, and it can also indicate a relation to a question in various contexts.

In usage, küsimusega is commonly employed to indicate that something is done or discussed with a question as a means or accompanying element, or in phrases that link the action to the question matter. For example, ta vastas küsimusega means “he answered with a question.” Another frequent usage is in the phrase küsimusega seoses, meaning “in connection with the question” or “with regard to the question,” used to relate statements or discussions to a specific issue.

Morphology notes: the base genitive singular of küsimus is küsimus e? No, the correct genitive singular is küsimuse, to which the instrumental suffix -ga is added to form küsimusega. The partitive form of the noun is küsimust, which is a separate case form and not interchangeable with the instrumental. For plural, the instrumental becomes küsimustega.

See also: küsimus (question), partitive form küsimust, genitive form küsimuse, phrases such as küsimusega seoses and vastama küsimusega.

Küsimusega is a standard grammatical form in Estonian, appearing in written and formal speech to express the notion of “with a question” or “in relation to the question.”
