In business english, addendum means: Extra material added to a document after its original version was prepared or issued.

In Turkish: ek metin, sonradan eklenen bölüm

How it is used

Used with reports, agreements and proposals. Addenda is a common plural. State which original document the addition belongs to and avoid implying every addition corrects an error.

Example sentences

  1. The supplier sent an addendum listing the extra services requested after the original proposal.

    The later document extends the proposal's content rather than simply restating the original list.

  2. Please read the addendum before the workshop; it contains the exercise added yesterday.

    The new exercise is supplied separately because it was added after the main material was prepared.
