pildiga

Pildiga is an Estonian grammatical form meaning “with a picture” or “illustrated.” It is formed from the noun pilt, meaning image, combined with the comitative suffix -ga, which signals accompaniment or inclusion. In use, pildiga functions as a modifier that precedes the noun in noun phrases.

In practice, pildiga describes materials or items that include an illustration or photograph. Common examples include pildiga raamat (a book with pictures), pildiga plakat (a poster with an image), pildiga veebileht (a website with images), and pildiga esitlus (a presentation with visuals). The form is especially prevalent in publishing, marketing, catalogs, and digital media where the presence of imagery is a key descriptor.

The construction is typically placed directly before the noun, in line with Estonian adjective placement. The opposite or negation is often expressed with ilma pildita, meaning “without a picture,” used to describe items lacking illustrations.
