päritoluga

Päritoluga is an Estonian grammatical form derived from the noun päritolu ("origin", "provenance") by adding the comitative suffix -ga, which conveys "with" or "having". As a phrase or attributive construction, päritoluga is used to indicate that something has a particular origin or provenance.

The form commonly appears after a place, group or descriptor to qualify a noun: for example, Brasiilia päritoluga kohv ("coffee of Brazilian origin") or vene päritoluga inimene ("a person of Russian origin"). It can also be used in longer constructions: päritoluga seotud küsimused ("questions related to origin"). In these uses, päritoluga functions syntactically to mark an attribute rather than as a standalone noun.

Etymologically, päritolu is related to the verb pärinema ("to originate, to come from") and the element pärit ("coming from"); the comitative -ga is a productive case ending in Estonian. Related lexical items include päritoluline (adjectival "of origin") and päritolupiirkond ("region of origin, provenance region").

Register is generally neutral; päritoluga is common in formal descriptions, product labeling, legal and administrative contexts, and everyday speech when indicating provenance. It may be used alongside other constructions (e.g., Eestist pärit) that express similar meanings with slight differences in focus or syntactic placement.
