ratastooliga

Ratastooliga is an Estonian phrase meaning "with a wheelchair" or "using a wheelchair." It is formed from the noun ratastool (wheelchair) plus the comitative suffix -ga, which marks "with" or "together with." The phrase functions as a comitative adjunct and can be combined with other words to describe means of travel, accommodation, or accompaniment. The plural form ratastoolidega marks "with wheelchairs" or "using wheelchairs" when referring to multiple devices or people.

In usage, ratastooliga is common in contexts related to mobility and accessibility, such as transportation, buildings, events, and services. It can describe how someone moves (for example, using a wheelchair) or how an activity is conducted with the aid of a wheelchair. It is part of a broader linguistic system in Estonian that uses comitative forms to indicate accompaniment or means.

The term reflects everyday reliance on assistive devices and the emphasis on inclusive design in Estonian-speaking regions. It is typically encountered in public signage, policy discussions, and media reporting on accessibility issues.
