Lisäinformaationa

Lisäinformaationa is a Finnish term that means “as additional information.” It is used in Finnish writing to indicate that certain material is provided as supplementary rather than essential content. The word combines lisä- (“additional”) with informaatio (“information”) and uses the suffix -na to express the idea of acting “as” something, a function often described in grammatical terms as a translative/adessive form.

In practice, lisäinformaationa appears in formal contexts such as reports, proposals, manuals, and other official documents to flag information that is meant to support understanding but is not part of the main narrative. It can introduce or label material that is provided for reference, such as data tables, appendices, or supplementary explanations. Examples include sentences like “Lisäinformaationa esitetään seuraava taulukko” or “Lisäinformaationa toimitetaan liitteenä oleva tieto.”

The phrase is distinct from lisätiedot, which simply means “additional details” and is commonly used as a heading or item in forms, and from liitteet, which refer to attachments. While lisäinformaationa is stylistically useful for emphasizing the supplementary nature of information, its use may be more typical in certain formal or technical documents rather than everyday writing.

Overall, lisäinformaationa functions as a precise linguistic tool in Finnish to designate information provided to support a main text without being central to its argument or narrative.
