rasvadega

Rasvadega is an Estonian term meaning “with fats” or “containing fats.” It is used primarily in culinary and nutritional contexts to describe foods, ingredients, or dishes that include fats. The word is formed from the noun rasv (fat) in its plural genitive rasvad, combined with the comitative suffix -ga, which denotes accompaniment or inclusion. As such, rasvadega functions as a postpositional phrase that can modify a noun, for example, “toit rasvadega” (a fat-containing food).

In practice, rasvadega appears in recipe instructions, menu descriptions, and nutrition labeling to indicate the presence of fats. It can be contrasted with terms that describe fat absence or reduction, such as phrases indicating low fat or fat-free variants, depending on the context and the terminology used in a given source. While it conveys a general notion of fat content, it does not specify the type or amount of fats present; other terms or numbers are typically used for such details.

Usage notes: rasvadega is a functional descriptor in everyday language and within the food industry. It helps communicate dietary characteristics and product formulations, particularly for consumers who monitor fat intake. Related linguistic forms include rasv (fat) and rasvad (fats), and the broader vocabulary around nutrition and cooking in Estonian. The term does not denote a specific organization, place, or proper noun.
