Django templates: how to concatenate a named URL and a string?

Question

I have the following settings:

The urls.py of the project's app:

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^main/', include('main.urls', namespace='main')),
]

The main app's urls.py:

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^add/$', views.add, name='add'),
]

I am trying to create an URL as /main/add/whatever/ in a template, hypothetically as follows:

<form method="POST" action="{% url 'main:add' %}" + "whatever/">

How do I do that?

Just use:

<form method="POST" action="{% url 'main:add' %}whatever/">

The code inside the curly braces will be rendered by your template system, and will precede the whatever, thus generating the following HTML:

<form method="POST" action="/main/add/whatever/">
