Sprid

Sprid is a Swedish word that functions as the imperative form of the verb sprida, meaning to spread or disseminate. It is used when issuing a direct command or appeal to spread something, such as information, a message, or materials. In everyday language, sprid appears in phrases like Sprid informationen and Sprid glädje, where the speaker urges others to share or broadcast.

Grammatically, sprid is the command form and contrasts with other conjugations of sprida used to describe spreading in statements or past events. Because it is a verb form, sprid does not function as a standalone noun in standard usage, though it is related to a family of terms such as spridning (dissemination, spread) and spridningsvåg (a spreading wave) that derive from the same root.

In Swedish-language contexts, sprid is commonly encountered in instructional, persuasive, or public-sphere discourse, including campaigns, guidelines, and social messaging. Outside Swedish, sprid has little recognition as a standalone term and is generally understood only by speakers of Swedish or readers familiar with Swedish grammar.
