efterföljde

efterföljde is a Swedish word that translates to "followed" or "succeeded" in English. It is a past tense verb derived from the infinitive "efterfölja," which means to follow, succeed, or imitate. The word is commonly used to describe a sequence of events, people taking over a role, or actions that come after something else.

For example, in a historical context, one might say that a new king "efterföljde" the previous one, indicating he succeeded him on the throne. In a more general sense, it can refer to one event naturally leading to another. The phrase "efterföljde planen" would mean "followed the plan." It can also be used to describe someone imitating or emulating another person's behavior or example. The verb emphasizes the continuation or replacement that occurs after a preceding element. The word's usage spans various contexts, from political successions to the natural order of occurrences.
