meetoditega

Meetoditega is the comitative or instrumental form of the Estonian noun meetod (method), meaning “with methods” or “using methods.” It denotes the use or combination of multiple methods in a process, study, or analysis. The form is constructed from the genitive plural meetodite plus the comitative suffix -ga, yielding meetoditega.

In usage, meetoditega signals that several methods are employed to achieve a goal or to gather and interpret information. It is common in academic, scientific, and professional writing when researchers want to emphasize methodological diversity or triangulation. The expression can pair with adjectives and other descriptors, as in erinevate meetoditega (with various methods), mitmete meetoditega (with several methods), or erinevate meetodite kasutamine (the use of different methods).

Examples of usage include: Uurimus viidi läbi erinevate meetoditega. Andmeid koguti erinevate meetoditega ja analüüsiti. These constructions illustrate how meetoditega functions to connect methods with actions like performing research or analyzing data.

morphologically, meetoditega contrasts with related forms such as meetodiga (with the method) or meetoditega (with the methods, plural). Its appropriate use depends on the number of methods referenced and the desired emphasis on methodological breadth or triangulation in the discourse.
