substrateidega

Substrateidega is a grammatical form used in Estonian to indicate accompaniment or involvement with multiple substrates. It is formed by taking the noun substraat (substrate) and adding the instrumental plural suffix -idega, a common way to express “with substrates” in scientific and technical contexts. In practice, substrateidega signals that a process, experiment, or analysis is carried out using several substrate materials.

Etymology and usage context: The base word substraat is a loanword from a Western European language (often traced to English substrate or Latin substratum) and has been integrated into Estonian scientific vocabulary. The substrateidega form appears primarily in technical writing, where researchers discuss results or methods that depend on the properties or presence of multiple substrates.

Disciplines and typical contexts: Substrateidega is commonly found in chemistry, biochemistry, materials science, geology, and electronics. It serves to clarify that observations or procedures involve several substrate types rather than a single substrate. Examples include: “Katsed tehti substrateidega erinevatel temperatuuridel” (The experiments were conducted with substrates at different temperatures) and “Substraatidega seotud omadused määravad reaktsioonikiiruse” (Substrate-related properties determine the reaction rate). Another phrase is “Substrateidega töötamine nõuab standardseid ohutusnõudeid” (Working with substrates requires standard safety requirements).

Notes: Substrateidega is not a distinct concept on its own but a linguistic construction that helps specify experimental or methodological context. For related terminology, see substraat and substrate in scientifc writing.
