lisäinformaation

Lisäinformaation is a Finnish term meaning "additional information." It refers to extra data that supplements the main information in a document, form, or dataset. The term is used in official, administrative, and technical contexts to indicate details that are not essential but can help clarify or support the primary content.

Linguistic note: The word is built from lisä (additional) and informaatio (information). In sentences it appears in the genitive form lisäinformaation, for example lisäinformaation tarve or lisäinformaation antaminen. A closely related everyday synonym is lisätiedot, meaning "further information" or "additional details."

Usage: In forms, a field labeled lisäinformaation invites users to provide extra details. In documentation, it may precede notes about context, exceptions, or provenance. In data management and metadata, lisäinformaation may describe data sources, collection methods, or the date of the last update.

Considerations: When providing lisäinformaation, relevance, accuracy, and privacy should be considered. Only necessary and verifiable information should be shared, and data-protection regulations should be followed. Related terms include lisätiedot and lisäinformaatio, which are often used interchangeably depending on context.
