lisänäksi

Lisänäksi is a Finnish adverb that translates to "additionally," "in addition," or "furthermore" in English. It is used to introduce an extra piece of information, a further point, or something that is being added to what has already been stated. The word is formed by combining the verb "lisätä" (to add) with the suffix "-nä," which can indicate a state or manner.

This adverb functions to connect related ideas and indicate that something new is being presented as supplementary to the preceding information. For example, in a sentence like "Söimme pastaa, ja lisäksi otimme salaatin," it means "We ate pasta, and additionally we had salad." The word lisänäksi helps to create a smooth flow in discourse by indicating continuation and expansion of a topic. It is commonly used in both spoken and written Finnish. Its usage is straightforward, serving a similar purpose to English conjunctions and adverbs that introduce additional points, such as "also," "besides," or "moreover." It does not change its form based on grammatical case or number, making it a relatively simple word to incorporate into sentences.
