skaneerimisega

Skaneerimisega is a term in Estonian that functions as the instrumental form of the noun skaneerimine (scanning). It denotes the means or method by which something is done and can be translated as “by scanning” or “with scanning.” The form is created by taking the genitive stem skaneerimise and adding the suffix -ga, which marks instrument or manner. It is used in formal or technical language, especially in contexts where scanning is a standard step, such as medicine, archiving, and digitization workflows.

Etymology and usage concepts are straightforward: skaneerimine is a loanword derived from the English word scanning, adapted into Estonian noun formation. The -ga suffix marks the means of action, so skaneerimisega appears when describing how an action was performed. For example, “Andmed koguti skaneerimisega,” meaning data were collected by scanning, or “Dokumendid digitaliseeriti skaneerimisega,” meaning the documents were digitized through scanning. The construction is primarily found in formal, technical, or written language.

Collocations and related forms: skaneerimisega appears alongside related phrases such as skaneerimisega seotud (related to scanning) and skaneerimisega teostatud/protseduurid. Other common forms include skaneerimine (scanning) and skaneerimise (genitive). The instrumental form is one of several ways to express method or means in Estonian and is more typical in technical texts than in casual speech.
