Införde

Införa is a Swedish verb meaning to introduce or implement something by bringing it into operation, such as laws, policies, systems, or procedures. Införde is the simple past (preterite) form used for actions completed in the past. The present tense is inför, and the past participle is infört, which is used to form the perfect tense with har or hade (for example, har infört or hade infört).

In usage, införa commonly appears in official or formal contexts, especially when discussing policy changes, legislation, or organizational reforms. Example: Regeringen införde nya regler. (The government introduced new rules.) The same notion can be expressed passively: En ny lag infördes. (A new law was introduced.)

Etymology and related forms: införa is composed of the prefix in- plus föra, meaning to carry or bring. The related noun infö­rande (införande) refers to the act of introducing or implementing, while införandet is the definite form used as a noun phrase. Related verbs that express bringing about changes include genomföra (to carry out) and implementera (to implement), which are often used in overlapping but slightly different contexts.

See also: införande (the act of introducing/implementing), införsel (importation in a different sense), genomföra, implementera. In Swedish writing, införa and its forms are common in legal, governmental, and organizational language, where precise phrasing about changes and their timing matters.
