tegevustega

Tegevustega is the comitative plural form of the Estonian noun tegevus, which means activity or action. The term literally expresses “with activities” and is used to indicate accompaniment, means, or involvement of activities in a given context. In Estonian grammar, the comitative case is formed with the suffix -ga; when applied to a plural noun, this yields forms like tegevustega.

Usage and meaning

Tegevustega appears in sentences where activities are the entity with which another action is carried out or in which something is involved. It can convey the idea of participating in or utilizing a set of activities as part of a process, project, or program. Because Estonian employs the comitative to express accompaniment or instrumental meaning, tegevustega often functions to describe how work is conducted or what activities accompany a task.

Form and related terms

The base word is tegevus (singular: activity). Its plural nominative is tegevused. The comitative plural, sinaisigned by -ga, yields tegevustega. Related concepts include tegevus (activity), tegevused (activities), and the broader comitative case used in Estonian grammar to express “with” or “together with” in various constructions.
