tilläggen

Tilläggen, the plural of tillägg, is a Swedish noun that denotes an addition or supplement that is added to something else. The term is used across many domains to describe extra items, features, or information intended to enhance or extend a base object or system.

Etymology and meaning: Tillägg derives from the verb lägga till, meaning to add. The noun form tilägg refers to the thing that has been added—a supplement, an extra component, or an appended part.

Common uses: In everyday language, tillägg appears in contexts such as extra charges (tilläggsavgift), additional items on a bill, or an added feature to a product. It is also used for documents and agreements to designate attachments or appendices (tillägg till rapporten, tillägg till avtalet). In menus, a dish may be offered with tilägg, such as an optional extra side dish. In statistics or reports, a tilägg can refer to supplementary data included beyond the main body.

In technology and software, tillägg is widely used to mean an extension or add-on that expands a program’s functionality. This includes browser extensions, plug-ins, or modular packages that integrate with existing software without altering its core code. In hardware or services, tillägg can describe additional features, tools, or service layers added to a baseline offering.

Usage notes: The term is versatile and domain-dependent. In formal writing, specify the type of addition (for example, a surcharge, an attachment, or a software extension) to avoid ambiguity.
