supplementary [noun]
Typisk fejl:
Learners often confuse "supplementary" with "complementary." "Supplementary" means something extra is added, usually in quantity or detail (supplementary income, supplementary information). "Complementary" means something different that fits well together or completes something in a matching way (complementary colors, complementary skills). Another common mistake is spelling it as "suplementary" (only one "p"); the correct spelling has double "p": "supplementary."
Synonymer
additional (Most common neutral alternative; almost always interchangeable in modern usage.)
|
extra (More informal and general; does not suggest an official or organized addition as strongly.)
|
supplemental (Very close in meaning; slightly more American and often used in technical, legal, or official contexts.)
|
ancillary (More formal; emphasizes a supporting role rather than just being added.)
Antonymer
main (Focuses on the primary or central part, which supplementary things are added to.)
|
primary (Stresses the first or most important part, as opposed to additional parts.)
