liiteet

Liiteet is a Finnish term that refers to attachments or appendices related to a main document, letter, or item. The word covers both physical and digital attachments as well as supplementary material added to reports or other writings. The singular form is liite, and the plural is liitteet.

In everyday use, liitteet commonly mean files attached to a message or document, such as PDFs, images, or spreadsheets. In emails, you may see references to “liitteet” or “liitetiedosto” to indicate the attached files. In official or formal documents, liitteet are the supplementary materials appended to the end of the main text, often numbered as “liite 1,” “liite 2,” etc.

In administrative and legal contexts, a liite can be a document attached to forms, applications, contracts, or agreements. The distinction between singular and plural is straightforward: liite for one attachment, liitteet for multiple. When emphasizing a digital attachment, liitetiedosto is a common specific term.

Etymology and usage notes: liite is derived from the verb liittää, meaning to attach. The plural suffix -et forms liitteet. In Finnish, liite is a general term, while liitetiedosto specifically refers to a file that is attached. Liitteet are typically placed after the main document, and their content often supplements or supports the primary material.
