seadusandlusega

Seadusandlusega is an Estonian term formed as the instrumental/comitative case of the noun seadusandlus, meaning legislation. The -ga suffix marks the instrument or means, so seadusandlusega translates roughly as “with legislation” or “by means of legislation.” The form is common in formal and legal language to indicate that an action is performed under or through the law.

In usage, seadusandlusega is used to refer to processes, rules, or obligations that are established by law, or to indicate that something is regulated by legislation. It appears frequently in official texts, parliamentary debates, and policy documents. Examples include: Seadusandlusega määratakse kindlaks, millised tegevused on lubatud (By legislation, it is determined which activities are permitted); Seadusandlusega kaasnevad kohustused tuleb täita (The obligations that accompany legislation must be fulfilled); Riik peab tegutsema kooskõlas seadusandlusega (The state must act in accordance with the legislation).

Seadusandlusega is distinct from seadusandlus, which refers to the system or field of legislation itself, i.e., the process of making laws. Seadusandlusega is a grammatical form used to express instrumentality or alignment with law within sentences, and it is most common in formal legal and policy contexts. In everyday language, speakers may instead use simpler expressions such as kooskõlas seadusega (in accordance with the law) or simply seadusega.
