märksõnaga

märksõnaga is an Estonian linguistic form derived from the noun märksõna, meaning keyword or search term. The word is used to indicate association with a specific keyword and is formed by adding the comitative suffix -ga to the noun in its nominative singular. In Estonian grammar, -ga expresses “with” or “together with,” so märksõnaga can be read as “with a keyword.” In practice, it appears in contexts where a document, data item, or text is linked to a particular keyword or set of keywords.

In information retrieval and metadata contexts, märksõnaga is used to describe how items are described, indexed, or categorized by keywords. It is common in metadata schemas, library cataloging practices, and documentation of search engine optimization processes. The form signals a relationship between an object and one or more keywords, and it often occurs in formal or technical writing rather than everyday speech.

Usage considerations include noting that märksõnaga is most informative when describing tagging, indexing, or metadata practices. Its interpretation is primarily linguistic and technical: it denotes an association with keywords rather than a standalone semantic claim. As with other Estonian inflected forms, its exact meaning can depend on context and sentence structure.
