Definition
添加 (tiān jiā) means 'to add' in a formal, written sense — you add something as a supplementary item (e.g., information, ingredients). It differs from 增加 (zēngjiā 'to increase in quantity/degree') and from 加入 (jiārù 'to join an organization or mix ingredients in'). 添 (tiān) is a more colloquial version, often used in speech.
