Instämde

Instämde is a Swedish verb that translates to "agreed," "concurred," or "assented" in English. It is the past tense form of the verb "instämma." The verb "instämma" is derived from the prefix "in-" meaning "in" or "into" and the verb "stämma" which can mean "to tune," "to match," or "to sue."
