inladen

Inladen is a Dutch verb meaning to load into or to place goods, data, or other items into a container, vehicle, system, or space. It is commonly used in logistics to describe the act of placing cargo onto transport equipment, and in computing to describe loading data or software into memory or into a running program. The prefix in- indicates movement toward the inside of something, and laden means to load, giving the core sense of moving items into a specified receptacle.

Grammatical note: Inladen is a two-part verb with a separable prefix in many tenses; the base form is laden with in- as a prefix. The past participle is ingeladen. Examples: "We laden de goederen in." "De goederen worden ingeladen." "De vrachtwagen is ingeladen."

Usage examples: In logistics, "We laden de containers in op de vrachtwagen." In computing, "Gegevens worden ingeladen in het programma" or "Gegevens worden ingeladen uit het bestand." In practice, both "inladen" and "gegevens inladen" are common, while "gegevens importeren" is a related term used in more formal contexts.

Relation to other terms: The most common opposite is uitladen (to unload). The term is interchangeable with the broader concept van laden when the context clearly involves moving items into a receptacle, such as a vehicle, a storage system, or a computer program.

Overall, inladen covers practical actions in physical transport as well as digital processes, reflecting its versatile use in everyday Dutch.
