Definition
追加 is a formal verb meaning 'to add an extra amount to an existing total' — commonly used with budgets, investments, and projects (追加预算, 追加投资). It also has a specialized use in official contexts: 'to confer a posthumous title or honor' (追加荣誉称号). Unlike 增加 or 添加, 追加 always implies adding onto something already established, often in administrative or financial settings.
