Frequently Asked Questions
Is 'apéndice' always a medical term?
No. While it often refers to the body part, it is equally common in literature and academia to describe the extra pages at the end of a book.
Why does it have an accent mark?
Because it is a 'palabra esdrújula'—the voice stress is on the third-to-last syllable (a-PÉN-di-ce). In Spanish, these words always require a written accent.
Can I use 'anexo' and 'apéndice' interchangeably?
In many casual situations, yes. However, in formal writing, an 'apéndice' is usually created by the author to support the text, while an 'anexo' can be any external document attached to the file.
