Lisääni

Lisääni is a Finnish noun meaning “my addition” or “my supplement.” It is formed by the noun lisä (an addition, extra) with the possessive suffix -ni, indicating ownership by the speaker. The form is used when a person refers to an addition they have made to a text, argument, or discussion.

In standard Finnish, more formal alternatives also exist, notably lisäys (an addition or amendment) and its possessive form lisäykseni (my amendment). The phrase tekemäni lisäys is common for describing an amendment that the speaker personally created. The form lisääni is less common and may appear mainly in informal speech or personal writing.

Examples include: “Tähän raporttiin tein lisäni.” (“I added my addition to this report.”) or “Lisäni huomautus koskee aikataulua.” (“My note/remark concerns the schedule.”) In formal contexts, speakers are more likely to use lisäykseni or rephrase the sentence to refer to the amendment, e.g., “Raporttiin tekemäni lisäys löytyy seuraavasta luvusta.”
