regulaatoritega

Regulaatoritega is the instrumental plural form of the Estonian noun regulaator, meaning regulator. It denotes equipment, systems, or components that contain multiple regulators or operate together with several regulators. The corresponding singular instrumental form is regulaatoriga ("with a regulator"), while regulaatoritega is used when referring to more than one regulator.

Formation and usage: In Estonian, the instrumental/comitative plural suffix -itega is added to the plural stem of the noun to indicate “with” or “alongside.” Thus regulaatoritega literally means “with regulators.” It is commonly used in technical and engineering contexts to describe devices or systems that are equipped with several regulators or designed to be used together with regulators.

Examples:

- Süsteem on regulaatoritega varustatud. (The system is equipped with regulators.)

- Seade regulaatoritega tagab stabiilse töötemperatuuri. (The device with regulators ensures stable operating temperature.)

Context and relevance: Regulaatoritega appears most often in descriptions of control systems, power supplies, climate control, process engineering, and other technical fields where multiple regulators may be employed to manage parameters such as voltage, pressure, or temperature. The term is neutral and objective, suitable for manuals, specifications, and technical documentation.

Etymology: Regulaator is a loanword derived from the root related to regulating or ruling, with the Estonian suffix -aator forming a device-related noun. The plural instrumental form regulaatoritega follows standard Estonian patterns for comitative plural constructions.
