Add notes that explain a text
to write short notes on or next to a text or picture to explain it or show your ideas
Padrão de uso:
to annotate [a text/image/document] with [notes/comments]
Erro comum:
Learners sometimes say *"annotate about the text"* instead of *"annotate the text"*. The verb usually takes the thing you write on as a direct object: *annotate the text/article/book*. If you mention the content of the notes, use *with*: *annotate the text with comments*. Learners also confuse *annotate* with *quote*; *annotate* means to add notes, not to repeat the original words.
Sinónimos
comment on (focuses on giving an opinion, while "annotate" suggests brief written notes attached directly to the text.)
|
gloss (more formal and less common; often used for short explanations of difficult words in a text.)
Antónimos
leave unmarked (describes not adding any notes or comments to the text at all.)

Add labels or tags to data
to add labels or special notes to data, code, or files so that computers or people can use them more easily
Padrão de uso:
to annotate [data/code/images] with [labels/tags/metadata]
Erro comum:
Learners sometimes think this technical use only means "to write comments," but in computing it often specifically means to attach labels, tags, or metadata for processing. They may also say *"annotate on the data"* instead of *"annotate the data"* or *"annotate the data with labels"*.
Sinónimos
label (very close in technical contexts, but "annotate" often suggests a more detailed or structured form of labeling.)
|
tag (common in social media and databases; usually implies short keywords, while "annotate" can include richer information.)
Antónimos
leave unlabeled (describes data or items that have no labels or tags at all, the opposite of annotating them.)
