Papildomas

Papildomas is a Lithuanian adjective meaning "additional" or "supplementary." It describes something that is added to a main set, amount, or service to increase its extent or value. The word is formed from the verb papildyti, meaning "to supplement" or "to fill up," with the adjectival suffix -omas. The masculine singular form is papildomas; feminine singular, papildoma; plural forms are papildomi (masculine) and papildomos (feminine). In use, papildomas precedes the noun it modifies and agrees in gender and number (for example, papildomas mokestis, papildoma paslauga, papildomi dokumentai).

The term is common in everyday language, business, administration, education, and law to describe extra charges, services, materials, or requirements beyond the standard offering. Examples include papildomas mokestis (an additional charge), papildomos paslaugos (additional services), and papildomos medžiagos (extra materials). In education, phrases such as papildomos pamokos refer to extra tutoring.

Related words include papildinys (an addition, supplement), papildymas (the act of supplementing), and the verb papildyti (to supplement). The concept is closely tied to notions of augmentation or supplementary provisions in contracts, regulations, and various programs.

Notes: While largely synonymous with "additional," papildomas can carry nuance of optionality or necessity depending on context, especially in legal or contractual usage.
