lisähuomion

Lisähuomio is a Finnish noun meaning an additional remark or note attached to a text to clarify, supplement, or draw attention to a point. It comprises lisä “additional” and huomio “attention” or “note.” The term is used in written Finnish across domains such as academic writing, official documents, journalism, and editing, typically to signal information that could not be fully integrated into the main text or to warn readers about a caveat.

In practice, lisähuomio may appear as a short sentence, a parenthetical remark, or a labeled note at the end of a section. It can be introduced by punctuation or by the marker Lisähuomio: followed by the content. Common phrases include lisähuomion mukaan (according to the additional note) or lisähuomion perusteella (on the basis of the additional note), illustrating how the genitive forms relate to the note.

Grammatically, lisähuomio is a common noun. The genitive singular is lisähuomion, the nominative plural lisähuomioita, and the genitive plural lisähuomioiden. The term is related to synonyms such as lisäselvitys (additional clarification), lisämuistutus (additional reminder), and lisätiedot (additional information). In Finnish style guidance, lisähuomio is treated as a practical label for supplementary content, with preference sometimes given to more specific terms depending on context, such as alaviite for footnotes or lisäselvitys for explicit clarification.
