Lisandav

Lisandav is an Estonian adjective meaning additive or supplementary. It is formed from the noun lisand, meaning addition, with the common adjectival suffix -av, and it describes something that adds to or increases another thing, or that has an additive effect.

In usage, lisandav describes factors, components, or impacts that are added on top of existing ones. Common contexts include scientific, economic, and everyday language. For example, lisandav koostisosa refers to an additive ingredient in a product, and lisandav mõju denotes an additive or cumulative effect in a set of observations or experiments. The term can also describe incremental changes or enhancements in processes or policies.

Translations into English are typically additive, supplementary, or incremental, depending on context. Related Estonian terms include lisand (addition) and lisandväärtus (added value). Lisandav is a regular adjective in Estonian and is not the name of a person, organization, or a distinct concept, but rather a descriptive word used across various domains to indicate a contribution beyond what is already present.
