Synonyms & antonyms
- Synonym付け加えるつけくわえるNeutralNeutral verb: to add a sentence or an item on top of what is already there. The most common everyday choice, not restricted to written text like 「付記」.
- Synonym書き添えるかきそえるNeutralNeutral verb: to add a few lines at the end of a letter or document — essentially a postscript. 「付記」 covers appended notes more generally.
- Synonym補遺ほいWrittenWritten/formal prose: supplying content that was left out earlier, usually as an addendum at the back of a book. 「付記」 is simply a note appended to the main text.
- Related付け足すつけたすNeutralNeutral verb: to add a bit more to something already there, not limited to text. Common in speech.
- Related付注ふちゅうWrittenWritten/formal prose: adding an annotation that explains words or phrases in the main text. 「付記」 is a supplementary note placed after or beside the text.
- Related注記ちゅうきWrittenWritten/formal prose: adding an explanatory note, typical in notes to tables, charts and financial statements. Close to 「付記」 but leaning more toward annotation.
- Related書き足すかきたすNeutralNeutral verb: to write in what is missing or insufficient. Common in speech; unlike 「付記」 it does not imply being appended after the main text.
- Related書き加えるかきくわえるNeutralNeutral verb: to add more writing to what is already written, e.g. a postscript. More colloquial than 「付記」.
- Related後付けあとづけNeutralNeutral: afterwords, indexes and other matter added at the back of a book; also a reason given after the fact, often implying a far-fetched excuse.
- Antonym本文ほんぶんNeutralNeutral: the main body of a piece of writing or a book — the very part that 「付記」 is appended after, so the two stand in opposition.
- Antonym主文しゅぶんWrittenWritten/formal prose: the main part of a text, or the operative part of a court judgment. Opposed to appended notes such as 「付記」.
For explanatory notes appended after the main text of a document, use 「付記」. In everyday speech the verbs 「付け加える」 and 「書き足す」 do the job. Use 「補遺」 for an addendum that fills earlier omissions, and 「注記」 for annotations to tables or financial statements.
