1
load something again, especially physically
to put things back into something after you used or emptied it, especially bullets in a gun or items in a machine
Användningsmönster:
to reload [something] (with [something])
Vanligt misstag:
Learners sometimes use "reload" when they only mean "load" for the first time. "Reload" is best used when something has already been loaded once and you are loading it again. For example, say "load the dishwasher" the first time, and "reload the dishwasher" when you are loading it again.
Synonymer
refill (more general for putting more of something into a container; does not strongly suggest weapons or machines.)
|
restock (often used for shops or supplies rather than individual machines or weapons.)
Antonymer
unload (means to remove things from a vehicle, container, or weapon instead of putting them in.)
|
empty (means to take everything out so that nothing remains inside.)

load digital content again
to make a web page, app, or file open again so you see it fresh or with new information
Användningsmönster:
to reload [a page / the app / the file]
Vanligt misstag:
Learners sometimes confuse "reload" with "refresh". In web browsers, the button is often called "Refresh", but the action is also described as "Reload the page". Both are usually acceptable. Do not use "update the page" when you only mean to load it again; "update" suggests changing the content itself.
Synonymer
refresh (the most common word in web browsers; in many contexts it is almost the same as "reload".)
|
restart (means to stop and start a program or device again; broader and slower than just reloading content.)
Antonymer
close (means to shut a page or app instead of loading it again.)
|
exit (means to leave or quit a program instead of reloading its content.)
Ordkombinationer

|reload the browser
|reload the app
|force reload

add money to prepaid account
to put more money onto a prepaid card or phone so you can use it again
Användningsmönster:
to reload [a card / an account] (with [an amount])
Vanligt misstag:
Learners sometimes say "charge money to my card" when they mean "put money on my prepaid card". For prepaid cards and phone plans, use "reload", "top up", or "add credit". "Charge to my card" usually means pay with a credit card, not add money to it.
Synonymer
top up (very common in British and international English for phones and cards; slightly more informal in some contexts.)
|
recharge (often used for mobile phones and data plans; also used for batteries, so context is important.)
Antonymer
spend (means to use the money on the card instead of adding more.)
|
deplete (means to use something until there is almost nothing left.)

regain energy like recharging
to rest or take a short break so you feel strong and ready again
Användningsmönster:
to reload [yourself / my energy / our motivation]
Vanligt misstag:
This use is informal and less common than "recharge". Learners should prefer "recharge" in most situations ("I need to recharge" sounds more natural than "I need to reload"). Overuse of this figurative sense can sound odd or influenced by games or memes.
Synonymer
recharge (the most common verb for getting energy back; sounds more natural than "reload" in many cases.)
|
reenergize (slightly more formal; clearly about increasing energy again.)
Antonymer
burn out (means to become extremely tired or stressed and unable to continue, the opposite of regaining energy.)
|
drain (to use up someone's energy so that very little is left.)

Synonymer
refill (a general word for filling something again; does not clearly suggest weapons or computers.)
|
refresh (for web pages, often used instead of "page reload".)
Antonymer
shutdown (for systems and devices, means turning off instead of loading again.)
|
