something extra that is added

Something extra that you add to another thing to make it better or more complete.

பயன்பாட்டு முறை: a supplement to [something]
பொதுவான தவறு:
Learners sometimes confuse "supplement" with "complement". A "supplement" is something extra that is added on, while a "complement" is something that goes well with something else or completes it in a matching way.
இணைச்சொற்கள்
addition (Neutral and very common; does not suggest improvement as strongly as "supplement" can.) | extra (More informal and general; any added amount, not always to complete something.)
எதிர்ச்சொற்கள்
main (Refers to the primary or central part, not something secondary or added on.)

pill or product with nutrients

A pill, drink, or powder that gives you extra vitamins or other good things for your body, on top of your normal food.

பயன்பாட்டு முறை: take a supplement for [something]
பொதுவான தவறு:
Learners sometimes think "supplement" means normal medicine. A supplement is usually for extra nutrition or health support, not for treating a specific illness like most medicines.
இணைச்சொற்கள்
vitamin pill (Focuses especially on vitamins, while "supplement" can also include minerals, protein, and other nutrients.) | nutritional supplement (A more technical and often broader term used in health and medical contexts.)
எதிர்ச்சொற்கள்
main meal (Your regular food, which is the primary source of nutrition, not something extra like a pill or powder.)

extra section of a publication

An extra part of a newspaper, magazine, or book that comes with the main part and usually has a special topic.

பயன்பாட்டு முறை: a [topic] supplement to [a newspaper or magazine]
பொதுவான தவறு:
Learners may confuse this with a separate magazine. A supplement is usually attached to or sold with the main newspaper or magazine, not sold completely on its own.
இணைச்சொற்கள்
insert (A loose section placed inside a newspaper or magazine; more technical and publishing-focused.) | pull-out (Informal publishing term for a section you can remove from the main paper.)
எதிர்ச்சொற்கள்
main edition (The central, regular part of the newspaper or magazine, not the extra added sections.)

to add extra to improve

To add more to something so that it is better, more complete, or enough.

பயன்பாட்டு முறை: to supplement [something] with [something]

இணைச்சொற்கள்
add to (More general and informal; does not always suggest improving or completing something in a careful way.) | top up (Informal; usually about adding enough to reach a desired level, especially money or drink.)
எதிர்ச்சொற்கள்

எதிர்ச்சொற்கள்
complement (In geometry, an angle that adds to 90 degrees with another angle, in contrast to a supplement that adds to 180 degrees.)
