The form conveys that the item mentioned is not the main or primary part, but accompanies it as an extra component.

Etymology and form: The word derives from lisä, meaning “addition” or “extra,” and the suffix -nä, which is used in Finnish to indicate a role or function in a given context. Lisänä is most commonly encountered in written language and formal registers, and it often appears in constructions that set up additional information, exceptions, or alternatives.

Examples: Lisänä ohjelmassa ovat myös työpajat. Lisänä voidaan todeta, että kustannukset alenivat. Lisänä se tarjoaa mahdollisuuden verkostoitumiseen. In these uses, lisänä functions to signal that the following information supplements what has already been stated.

Relation to other forms: Lisänä is one of several expressions in Finnish that relate to introducing extra content, alongside lisäksi and other phrases. While lisänä is more common in formal writing, lisä- and -nä forms appear in varied registers depending on emphasis and style.
