Bilagorna

Bilagorna is the definite plural of the Swedish noun bilaga, meaning an appendix, attachment, or supplementary material attached to a document, report, contract, or publication. The term denotes multiple such items and is used across administrative, academic, and legal contexts. In English, bilagorna are commonly translated as “the appendices” or “the attachments.”

In practice, bilagorna are typically numbered and listed at the end of a document (for example, Bilaga 1, Bilaga 2). They may consist of data tables, diagrams, forms, correspondence, or other supporting material that complements the main text. The definite form bilagorna is used when referring to a specific set of attachments within the same material; the indefinite plural bilagor or the singular bilaga is used for individual items or for attachments in general.

In legal and administrative writing, bilagorna are important for documenting provenance and providing verifiable information. With digital documents, bilagorna can be embedded as separate files or included as annexes within a file. The concept is closely related to the English term appendices. See also bilaga, bilagor.
