Instructió

Instructió is a noun used in Catalan to denote instruction, guidance, or teaching. It encompasses the act of instructing—training, educating, or directing—as well as the information that tells someone how to perform a task, operate a device, or comply with a rule. In everyday usage it appears in two broad senses: education (the process of imparting knowledge or skills) and procedural directions (manuals, safety notices, or directives).

It derives from Latin instructio, through Old French instruction; it is cognate with the English word instruction and Spanish instrucción. In Catalan spelling the standard form is instrucció; the plural is instruccions. Some nonstandard texts or dialects may render the word as instructió. The distinction between the act of instructing and the set of instructions is typically resolved by context or article usage.

Usage examples include educational contexts, where instrucció refers to teaching; in product documentation, the word appears as instruccions; in administrative language, it can denote official directives to be followed. The term overlaps with related concepts such as guidance, tutoring, and directive. See also instruction, directive, and user manual.
