Dont stand out, it will scare normies and they will avoid you. Dont believe you are better than anyone else, in anything, ppl will quietly shun you out. Always assume people are jealous and dont expect anyone to congratulate your success, or believe in your business idea 😊 Im autistic and I cant stand Swedish normies 😂

Nice video! Thanks! 🙋‍♂🙋‍♂

It differs from south to north...

It's different when you come up north. You can hear nothing for weeks, months, years even! And then people loosen up and they will tell you everything, especially in the basu (sauna for all the rest of the world). It's a lovely way to speak while being naked, exposed some might say, but you are already naked in a sauna. Everyone is equal in the sauna, and I think only the Finns understand that....

pepparkakor = gingerbread

Never talk about your and your colleagues salary and never brag of your wealth - downplay it.

Since butter lasts for ever in room temp, it's kind of stupid to store it in the fridge (kind of like eggs), bregott is a mix of butter and rapeseed oil.

Proper swedish etiquette, if someone of middle eastern or african descent asks for a smoke and you dont have any, prepare to get blasted. So always carry cigarettes for those successful perfectly integrated hoodlums.

Thank you.. trying to explaning.. swedish food and customs! Then the tube thing.. many of those foods can be bought in bigger packages, like different jars or bottles for familys. However there is food items that kinda need those tubes.. for food items like Kalles kaviar, smoked salted cod roe.. that get spoild in a few days if not in a tube! Keeping in a tube, (no oxygen) and in the fridge.. last a whole week! And then ofcourse like knäckebröd.. take a bite.. dry and dont taste that good on its own! Its becuse its not how swedes use it! Knäckebröd is an old style of bread.. dryed bread, moste swedes put butter on it and some other things like cheese togheter with our autum/winter soups! It can altso be used as a breakfast thing.. with sliced eggs and kalles kaviar.. or any toping one like! However moste swedes do eat/use soft bread.. and presliced bread as is or to put in a toaster! And one can altso buy real kaviar (fish roe) in jars.. more expencive dont last that long.. its in moste cases lumpfish roe.. its more used on avocados or in a toast Skagen! And then you need to try/talk about "Sill", pickled herring.. in any sause you ever can think of.. and then one need to know wich one to use in a combo to other foods.. or on its own!

Hello , i´m lucky that have my wife from Taiwan, and yes , take time to learn

Not shaking hands is considered impolite in Sweden.

Outlook have the setting for week-numbers if you activate it. Also go to the bank and get a few mini calendars for your wallet and desk for free every year. And when someone start to planning their vacation pull it up and you are in the circle.

It makes me curious where you are from. I can't find it anywhere. From the looks it could be south China or middle. My gf is from north China. Some things I think is very much the same for her and we are very compatible for food. But we still run into a lot of cultural problems or maybe it is just her. She hate any form of question for one. Even, what do you want to eat tonight? And well her temper is as even is the normal dragon's.

I'm Swedish and I can't think of any situation were coming in to early would be inappropriate unless it is extreme like an hour or more.

You don't have to cut in line. I use a fart toy. It works wonders.

One exception for taking off shoes is apparently offices. Don't go round in the office with socks, unless you normally have like office shoes but they're broken (great excuse btw). It's apparently frowned upon, especially by higher ups in companies. However, it is ok to change to inside shoes, or shoes you wear exclusively in the office

On a scale of 1 through 10, where 10 is the most refined (not counting the social elites and nobles), I'd argue Sweden is a 7. US is a 1. Britain is a 4. Germany is a 6. Japan is a 10. That's how I'd rate it as, as a Swede. Although Swedish social customs are often compared to Japan's social customs, it's just not really at that level, and it requires more to offend a Swedish person than what would offend a Japanese person when you break those kinds of unwritten rules.

Hey you guys if you find it hard to make friends sence i have heard from alot of people that its hard to connect to others when it comes to making friends fika is a big thing here i would suggest you bake something bring it to work and say i brought something so we can fika its a tradition to fika and thats were you can socialize and if you get invited to a party/ dinner at someones house bring a bottle of wine for the host or a nice chese and so on you allways bring something when youre invited to a dinner party at someones house and if you still find it hard to connect there is a app for women to make female friends and you write in youre hobbys and so on so you can see who you match whit i hope i was helpful and wish you the best in the future.

So people outside of sweden cant stand in line or get to places on time? Hmmm

If you really want to see an angry Swede, just try to get ahead in the queue or keep your dirty shoes on when you visit someone's hem. 😯🙄🙂

I remember as a kid my mother was realy, realy mad at me when we came home for taking the last pice of cookies whan we where invited to someone else. Ha ha!

I will show this video to my fiancée who is coming to Sweden next month because you bring up a lot of good points, she is from the Philippines so there are some cultural differences! One interesting thing about lines is that in the Philippines, you often see these "priority lines" for like elderly people, disabled people or pregnant people but I have never seen those in Sweden! Perhaps we take this equality too far sometimes he he he, because maybe some people deserve to have shorter lines :) I don't know just an interesting observation.

Hi again! >You are so cute and pick up on our "ways" to behave and such. SNUS lol, I use It alot, and I'm a woman. First, many many years ago, it was usually men whom used it. But now alot of women Use it, and its natural and very common. Thank you for this nice video. Ha en bra dag och sköt om dig. PUSS puss/ Anna

hi! Im swedish. And I really think you picked up our etikett, our way to behave and treat eachother, even when you meet strangers... beautiful that you pick up and see how we are as people and how we treat other people in general. You are so sweeet and I'm glad to have you here. Tack för en bra utvärdering och förklaring hur vi behandlar varandra och vår etikett. Du är så fin. PUss Puss!! /Anna

The queue system is collapsing in Sweden due to immigrants.

One thing is to learn swedish and talk swedish . Which many of You Don’t care about. Live here for years without learning swedish……

When I grew up in the 60's I had virtually never access to sweets or chocolate. This was also the case for most of my friends. I am perhaps odd that I never used weeks myself and got no feeling for it - rarely in work related matters am forced to check it out in calendar but it is strange and as I see it imposed by "society" more than a cultural thing for common persons.

Que... with numbers? Nonono - every Swede thats gets to somewhere were others are waiting will take mental note of were they are in the "que" and wait their turn without any number needed - if someone else comes later they better find their place in the que and not cut before others because it just looks like a bunch of people standing around - they are all watching eachother making sure the queing is upheld! (If you do cut in line you'll get angry eyes and if someone asks you better have a life threatening reason for cutting)

Really interesting to hear your view of my country and our customs. May I ask what country you are from? As a sociologist I am intrigued by different ways of everyday behaviour. Thank you.

7:01 As someone else pointed out, it's now generally allowed on buses cause bikes take up allot of space and they would rather not have to deal with that. Trains are easier cause they can have specific cars that allow bikes to be stored. This is why it's always good to call if you are unsure, at least its better than being told you are not allowed to bring a bike with you. 8:42 Ive never felt good about companies here in Sweden that sell such personal data, mostly cause I feel that it's private and something id rather not share or something that people should have access to (at least not without very good reasons). Income has long been one of those things that people don't really talk about, think it's deemed a touchy subject. Only time i'd care about someone's background is if I was hiring someone for sensitive work, like if they are gonna work with money and/or children (I aint gonna hire the next Jimmy Saville).

Interesting reflections. I hope you've found yourself welcome here.

In northern Sweden there is definitely plenty of snow in winter! Gothenburg and even Stockholm is quite far south so they have different climates. Really enjoyed the calm and nice video though! 😊

Rule no 1. Never point one if someone is breaking these rules.

I think taking off your shoes makes sense, Swedish weather can be quite messy in terms of dirt/mud/slush and bringing that inside with your shoes is just nasty. It's also not nice to have your shoes on all the time, it's almost like asking to get trench foot. For the hamburger people that need something on their feet, just get a pair of slippers. They are super comfy, warm and you can have them indoors. Edit: One thing I remember was that sometimes, you would wait for everyone to finish their food before going for seconds. I'm not sure how common this is in Sweden, I remember this from back when I was active in my local church. They would sometimes have taco night and you would wait for everyone to finish their meals before seeing if there was enough left for seconds.

I think its easy to understrand. I am finnish and lived 2 years in sweden. Taking shoes off should be normal :D

You can lock your bicycle next to the bus stop then when you get come back you ride home again not really an issue here.

Its this I cant explaine the swedish etiquet system.. others that its quite flat! Or like the Japanes guy in Finland on a company event talked to and later experience that it was his EEO of his company! It would never happen in Japan! !! But its do happen in Nordic countrys, where the structure is more flat.. get used to it.. talk to your table friend, you dont know him/her.. it could be your boss, both he and she.. or your boss wife/spouse, or your femal boss partner or husband! Its why we kinda usualy try to use at least some sort of etiquette.. its usefull anyware els altso! "Dont make fool of you! If ever do it at MC-Donalds and then newer ever return!

I get the impression that you would enjoy a song by Povel Ramel, called "Ta av dig skorna"!

which city are you currently residing in?

We had ( flor tanten) skolan

Where u from?

Looks lovely, Thankyou for the video xxx❤

Thank you for a calm and relaxed video 🌸 Your voice is very nice to listen to and thank you for all the kind words about sweden 🙂 ..And I agree 💗 I really like it here too 🌍

Hi ,counting weeks are really simple,The year begins in January First week is week 1 and its only to count days In month if you wish that. But a easyer way is to look in a swedich calender they will come as small cards for wallet, in work callenders . and as flipchart to hang on a wall . the best ones are they hwo have date, month,weeks and nameday its convinient to mark for vacation days birthdays and so on. so its not rocket research. simple as that.

Saturday candy is for kids only so that they don't eat candy everyday

Im also living in Sweden but im originally canadian. I still don't know much about why my family moved

In our calendars, you can see what week it is, so you never have to remember yourself.

Good video🇸🇪👍🏻Too bad that everything is so expencive here😱🫣

as the week thing, I still google week numbers but there is a simplicity in "week" definition. Vacation week 25 is easy to remember.

Yea not a restriction, it is all the parents doing this rule, it is kindof a tradition to not eat candy on any other day than saturday. One could do any other day too but "lördagsgodis" sounds good in swedish
