Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, ‘añadir’ sounds slightly more formal than ‘agregar’ or ‘sumar’. The pronoun placement before the verb (te lo añado) is mandatory in standard Spanish; in some informal spoken varieties you might hear the clitic attached to the infinitive (añarte lo), but that is considered non‑standard. Also, remember that ‘al pedido’ is a fixed phrase meaning ‘to the order’; avoid saying ‘a el pedido’.
