maksumusega

Maksumusega is the Estonian comitative form of the noun maksumus, which means cost or expense. In Estonian, the comitative expresses accompaniment or association and is formed by attaching the suffix -ga to the genitive stem of a noun. For maksumus, the genitive singular is maksumuse; adding -ga yields maksumusega. Thus maksumusega literally means “with the cost” or “along with the cost.” The form is primarily used in formal or financial contexts to refer to costs that accompany or relate to a price, project, or decision.

Use and context

Maksumusega is common in budgeting, procurement, contracts, and financial reporting when describing costs that come with a price or are connected to a particular item or decision. It helps distinguish the base price from other related or additional expenses. The comitative form allows writers to discuss costs as part of a broader financial picture without repeating the noun maksumus.

Examples

- Maksumusega kaasnevad tasud tuleb eraldi arvestada. (The fees that accompany the cost must be accounted for separately.)

- Projekti maksumus on kaks miljonit eurot; maksumusega seotud lisakulud tuleb eraldi täpsustada. (The project cost is two million euros; additional costs related to the cost must be specified separately.)

Related notes

Maksumusega is a grammatical form rather than a separate semantic concept. It illustrates how Estonian makes explicit the relationship between a price and its accompanying or related expenses through the comitative construction.
