Inundate

To inundate means to be overwhelmed by too much of something at once, like getting a huge pile of homework or too many messages that you can't keep up with.

Examples

• After the teacher assigned a huge project on climate change, I felt inundated with research materials, videos, and books that I needed to read in order to complete it successfully.
• During the holiday season, our local food bank was inundated with donations from generous families, helping to provide meals for those in need in our community.
• When I joined the soccer team, I was inundated with information about drills, strategies, and rules, making it a bit overwhelming at first, but exciting to learn so much.
