Lisamärkusi

Lisamärkusi is Estonian for “additional notes” or “annotations.” The term combines lisa (additional) with märk (note or mark) and refers to multiple remarks added to a document, data record, or other media to provide supplementary information without altering the main content.

In publishing and academic contexts, lisamärkusi are commonly realized as footnotes or endnotes that offer explanations, citations, or clarifications. In data management or forms, lisamärkusi may appear as free-text fields where qualifiers, caveats, or contextual notes are recorded to accompany the primary data. In linguistic work or language data projects, lisamärkusi can denote annotations attached to a corpus item, such as glosses, part-of-speech tags, or transcription notes.

Best practices for lisamärkusi include keeping notes concise and relevant, numbering or labeling them consistently, and ensuring each note clearly references the corresponding part of the main text or data item. When documents are digital, navigation aids such as anchors, hyperlinks, or timestamps help reviewers locate the related content quickly. It is important to distinguish lisamärkusi from the main text and to avoid overloading the document with excessive supplementary information.

The term is primarily used in Estonian-language contexts, but its function is comparable to related concepts in other languages, such as annotations, footnotes, or comments. Lisamärkusi serve to enhance understanding, provide sources, or record qualifications without interrupting the flow of the principal material.
