mallidega

Mallidega is the comitative plural form of the Estonian noun mall, meaning template or model. The term literally conveys “with templates” or “with models” and is used to indicate accompaniment of multiple templates or model instances in discourse.

Grammatically, the Estonian comitative case is formed by attaching a suffix to the genitive form of a noun. For mall, the genitive plural is mallide; adding the comitative suffix yields mallidega. The corresponding singular form is malliga. The form is common in technical and design contexts, where templates, patterns, or model instances are discussed, compared, or prescribed.

Examples include: Me töötasime mallidega projekti raames. (We worked on the project within a framework that used templates.) Dokumentatsioonis käsitletakse mallidega seotud standardeid. (The documentation discusses standards related to templates.) These sentences illustrate how mallidega functions to indicate collaboration with or usage of multiple templates.

Notes: Mallidega is not a separate lexical item but a grammatical form derived from mall. It tends to appear in written Estonian, particularly in professional or academic writing in fields such as design, software development, and education. Related forms include mallid (nominative plural), mallide (genitive plural), and malliga (singular comitative). See also Estonian grammar and the comitative case.
