Överskreds

Överskreds is a Swedish verb that translates to "is exceeded," "is surpassed," or "is transgressed" in English. It is the passive present tense form of the verb överskrida. The word is often used in contexts involving limits, boundaries, or rules.

For example, one might say "Hastighetsgränsen överskrids" which means "The speed limit is exceeded." This indicates that the established maximum speed has been gone beyond. Similarly, "Budgeten överskrids" translates to "The budget is exceeded," implying that the allocated financial limit has been surpassed.

The concept of överskreds can also apply to abstract boundaries. For instance, "En persons integritet överskrids" means "A person's privacy is transgressed." This highlights a violation of personal space or rights. The verb can be used in various situations where a defined threshold or standard is not met or is actively violated. The core meaning remains the idea of going beyond a set point.
