Lisäselitteenä

Lisäselitteenä is a Finnish term that translates to "as further explanation" or "by way of further explanation." It is often used in written and spoken Finnish to introduce additional details, clarifications, or elaborations on a previously stated point. The phrase serves to signal to the listener or reader that more information is about to be provided to enhance understanding or to provide context.

This linguistic device is common in various forms of communication, including academic writing, legal documents, and everyday conversations. When someone uses "lisäselitteenä," they are essentially saying, "to explain this further," or "to provide more detail on this." It can be employed when a statement might be ambiguous, incomplete, or when the speaker/writer wishes to emphasize a particular aspect.

For instance, in a formal report, a sentence might conclude with a brief statement, followed by "lisäselitteenä," introducing a paragraph that delves deeper into the specifics of that statement. Similarly, in a conversation, after making a general remark, one might add "lisäselitteenä" to offer a concrete example or a more detailed account. The purpose is always to ensure clarity and to furnish the audience with a more comprehensive grasp of the subject matter at hand.
