Both verbs mean to flood and are often used interchangeably.
'Inundar' is derived from 'unda' (wave) and emphasizes being covered by water. 'Alagar' is also common and describes the same phenomenon. Sometimes 'alagar' might suggest a more rapid or overwhelming rise of water, but this distinction is subtle and context-dependent.
A chuva forte <strong>inundou</strong> / <strong>alagou</strong> as ruas do bairro.
It describes a cause of flooding.
'Transbordar' means 'to overflow'. A river 'transborda' (overflows) its banks, and this action can cause the surrounding area to 'inundar' (flood). So, 'transbordar' is often the precursor to 'inundar'.
O rio <strong>transbordou</strong> e <strong>inundou</strong> a aldeia.
Both involve water.
'Molhar' means 'to wet', which is a much less intense action than 'inundar' (to flood). You can 'molhar' your hands with a little water, but your house 'inunda' when it's covered by a lot of water.
A chuva <strong>molhou</strong> a minha camisola, mas não chegou a <strong>inundar</strong> a estrada.
Both relate to flooding.
'Inundar' is a verb (to flood), while 'enchente' is a noun (a flood, the event). You can say 'o rio inundou' (the river flooded) or 'houve uma enchente' (there was a flood).
A cidade sofreu uma grande <strong>enchente</strong> porque o rio <strong>inundou</strong>.
Both involve being under water.
'Inundar' specifically refers to flooding, usually caused by an excess of water covering an area. 'Submergir' means 'to submerge' and can apply to objects or people going completely underwater, not necessarily due to flooding (e.g., a submarine submerges).
O barco <strong>submergiu</strong> rapidamente, mas o campo foi <strong>inundado</strong> pela chuva.

They are very similar and often interchangeable verbs meaning 'to flood'. Sometimes 'alagar' might suggest a more sudden or overwhelming influx of water, but in most contexts, they mean the same thing. 'A chuva inundou/alagou as ruas.'

The noun form is 'inundação', which means 'flood' or 'flooding'. For example, 'A inundação causou muitos estragos.'
Yes, figuratively, it can. You might say someone was 'inundado de tristeza' (flooded with sadness) or 'inundado de alegria' (flooded with joy), meaning they were overwhelmed by those emotions.
'Transbordar' means 'to overflow'. A river 'transborda' (overflows) its banks, and this action can cause the surrounding area to 'inundar' (flood). So, 'transbordar' is often the cause, and 'inundar' is the effect.

'Inundar' is very common in news reports about weather events, especially heavy rainfall, overflowing rivers, or coastal flooding. They might say, 'As chuvas intensas fizeram o rio inundar.'
As a regular '-ar' verb, its conjugation is quite regular and manageable. The main challenge might be distinguishing its literal and figurative uses and mastering the subjunctive mood in more complex sentences.
Opposite actions would include 'drenar' (to drain) or 'secar' (to dry). The opposite state would be 'seco' (dry). If something is prevented from flooding, it is 'retido' (retained) or 'desviado' (diverted).
