lisäännä

Lisäännä is a form that may appear in Finnish texts, but it is not a standard Finnish word. It is generally regarded as nonstandard or dialectal rather than part of the normative language. The base verb lisätä means “to add.” In standard Finnish, the imperative forms used for giving an instruction are typically lisää (singular) and the corresponding plural form for addressing more than one person, which may take a different standard construction in formal contexts.

Because lisäännä is not listed in authoritative Finnish grammars or dictionaries, its exact status and meaning are unclear. In most contexts where a speaker wants someone to perform an adding action, the standard imperative forms should be used. If lisäännä appears in a text, it is advisable to interpret it as a nonstandard form or a typographical error for lisää or another correct imperative form, depending on the surrounding context.

Usage notes:

- In formal writing and in language learning resources, rely on lisätä’s standard imperative forms, such as lisää (singular) or the appropriate plural form, to avoid confusion.

- In technical or user-facing language (software, manuals), accurate and widely recognized forms improve clarity; lisää is typically preferred.
