lahendiga

Lahendiga is an Estonian grammatical form, the comitative (instrumental) case form of the noun lahend, meaning “solution.” As a comitative form, lahendiga expresses accompaniment or association with a solution and can be translated roughly as “with a solution.” It is an inflected form, not a separate word with its own lexical meaning.

In usage, lahendiga appears in phrases that reference a solution alongside a subject or action. It is more common in formal or written Estonian, especially in technical, academic, or problem‑solving discourse where a particular solution is being discussed or specified. The form helps link the concept of a solution to the context of the sentence, rather than creating a standalone noun.

Morphology and formation: lahendiga is formed by attaching the comitative suffix -ga to the stem lahend (solution). The base noun lahend denotes a solution or resolution; adding -ga yields the sense of “with a solution.” This inflected form is used with nouns to indicate accompaniment and does not alter the core meaning of lahend itself.

Origin and status: The -ga comitative suffix is a longstanding part of Estonian grammar, used with many nouns to denote accompaniment. Lahendiga is simply one of numerous instances where lahend is combined with -ga to express “with a solution.” It is not a separate lexical item or proper noun.
