Järellisõnaga

Järellisõnaga is an Estonian term that translates to "with a postscript" or "added afterwards." It is commonly used in written communication to indicate that an additional note or message has been appended to a letter or document after the main body has been completed. This practice allows for the inclusion of afterthoughts, corrections, or supplementary information that the writer may have forgotten or decided to add at the last moment.

The postscript, often abbreviated as P.S. (from the Latin post scriptum, meaning "written after"), serves as a distinct section following the signature. In Estonia, when referring to this addition in the Estonian language, the phrase järellisõnaga is employed. It signifies that the content following the initial closing of the message is a subsequent addition.

The purpose of a järellisõnaga can vary. It might be used to emphasize a particular point, apologize for an oversight, convey a personal message, or provide an update that became relevant after the primary writing was finished. While less formal than the main content of a letter, a järellisõnaga can carry significant weight, often drawing the reader's attention due to its placement at the end. Its inclusion is a stylistic choice that adds a layer of personal touch or practical necessity to written correspondence.
