Tillägga

Tillägga is a Swedish verb meaning to add, to append, or to include something additional in a text, statement, or situation. The term is used for both concrete additions (an item, a clause) and more abstract insertions (information, comments). The related noun tillägg means an addition or supplement, and is used in contexts such as documents, prices, or features.

In usage, tillägga appears in formal and everyday language. Common phrases include "jag vill tillägga att ..." (I would like to add that ...) or "parterna tillägger följande villkor" (the parties add the following terms). In legal, academic, or contractual writing, tillägga helps to introduce new elements without changing the main text. In computing or publishing, "tillägg" is also used to denote an extension, plugin, or appendix; the verb tillägga remains the action of adding.

Conjugation: tillägga is a standard verb; finite forms include present "tilläger" or "tillägger" depending on dialect, past "tillägde" and supine "tilläggt". The two-word equivalent "lägga till" is common in everyday speech and writing, but tillägga is more formal or precise in writing.

Etymology: The word comes from till- (toward, added) and lägga (to lay). The noun tillägg shares the same root, indicating something laid on top or appended.
