Lisateave

Lisateave is a Finnish term used primarily in administrative, bureaucratic, and digital contexts to refer to information that supplements the main data being collected or presented. In practice, lisateave appears as a label or field where a user can enter additional details that are not captured by the main form fields, such as explanations of special circumstances, clarifications, or exceptions.

Linguistically, lisateave is a compound formed from lisä meaning “additional” and tieto meaning “information.” The more standard noun for this concept in Finnish is lisätieto, with the plural form lisätietoja. Lisateave is used variably; some writers treat it as a synonym of lisätieto, while others prefer the more common lisätietoa or lisätietoja depending on the publication style.

Usage and examples: On government portals, a lisateave field might invite the applicant to explain discrepancies between stated information and supporting documents. In customer service forms, it allows the user to describe the issue more fully. In product pages or shipping notices, lisateave may be used to communicate delivery constraints, special handling instructions, or other context.

See also: lisätieto, lisätietoja, lisäinformaatio. The term is part of everyday Finnish usage rather than a specialized technical term, and its acceptability can vary by publication style and context.
