You can be good at what you do. But let the things and the achievement speak for themselves. You just don't need to emphasize yourself.

[dlind]

*I love you, guys! Always!*
When I see you in my feed, I immediately choose you two because you are so happy, pleasant, and trustworthy about your thoughts.
Hej, från Sverige!

[Axillent]

When it comes to "BYOB" - Bring Your Own Booze; it has mainly to do with that alcohol is very expensive here in Sweden so for a host not to go broke just to host a party, it is very considerate of the partymembers to bring their own alcohol. But if the party is just a smaller dinner between two couples, then usually You don't have to bring any alcohol. Then it is more expected that the hosts provide the drinks etc.

[Ikaelgo]

The thing about bringing your own ”booze”/alcohol to a party is only true for younger people and not always, even for them.

[dlind]

I would be glad for them when it comes to learning English. I don't see how it is "bragging!" They have actually accomplished a tricky thing!
Bravo! Would I say to them! (And keeping smiling)

[kronop]

Sueco aqui, sim, procurei por muito tempo uma prateleira para sapatos quando morei no Brasil

[lindaleffler]

Taking your shors of is also, and maybe formost, a sign of respect.😊

[penaarja]

Personal space is very important To US Finnish also.

[bengtolsson]

Yes, if you walk into a house with shoes on, you will be kicked out head first. You don't just do that. Not in hotel rooms etc. either.

[ane-louisestampe]

If you deserve praise, someone will give it you! - is the Nordic way
I think the Jantelov mostly kicks upwards: It's never kept ME down, buts it's assured nobody can step on me.
You can only impress idiots by showing off. To good people you income means nothing!

[Ikaelgo]

Actually, the shoe thing has, originally, to do with farmers and workers. Basically, don’t walk indoors with your dirty/muddy/snowcovered boots. It will be too messy on the floors! However, it’s a sign of being more ”posh” if you don’t take your shoes off. Especially if you’re going to eg a dinner party. But if it’s snowy outside (for instance) you will bring a pair of indoor shoes. To walk around at a party in your socks is not considered the right thing to do - if you are dressed up. Most Swedes don’t know this, however. It’s a class and urban thing.

[almanoor-bakker]

I don't know whether we are polite (I am Dutch and we are notorious for beiing rude, or honest as we call it) but there certainly is a mentality of live and let live.

[NygaardBushcraft]

personally, if I get invited to a party (and with party I mean an actual legitimate occasion not just "lets celebrate its saturday") I expect the people inviting me to have enough funding to host the party. If they ask me to bring my own drinks I will drink them, but at home. If you can't afford to host a party, then don't.

[LasseEklof]

Swedish here. I expect those who visit me to take off their shoes inside the front door. But there are exceptions, e.g. my old father (over 80 years old) had difficulty bending down and taking off/putting on his shoes, so he was allowed to wear them at my place.

[Damalatorian]

1.If you ever come across a swedish person cnowing portogeese I can bet you my savings that thay (we) would be humble and not brag..😅

2.Yes.. you think that you know the host will care for you but you still bring something yourself to not be a burden to the host. And if a new company you pay for your own drinks.. If a smaller company you keep a look on how many you are and if you can pay for a rund and if it's worth it before the next pay for your rund..

3. Same in asia.. keep your dirt away from the floor. Basically... shoes are for going outside -not inside.

4.Yes, sorry.. we like personal space. Don't be loud and be more "Jantelag" necause most people on transit are going from and towards work.. we dont want loud noices or speak .. it depends on when and where... but it boils down on "reading the room" ..If it's 8pm on a friday...ok but at 9am on a thursday... dont talk as much on the

5. Yes.. Lines. We often haves tickets to pick up at every publick place. If dont just follow the locals.


But... please know that we love to help. If you're lost in any way we will help you if you ask. . But most will sadly ignore you if you don't..

[lucasholmberg]

He is actually wrong about people not being encouraged to stand out. In sweden you are absolutely encouraged to do well in life BUT to also remember we are all equal and just because you have more money or have a PHD or whatever you are still equal. We are all human wether you are rich/poor or even the king so the same laws in sweden go for everyone (with a few minor exceptions).

[Denzao-D]

We are happy for each other. Let us say my father got promoted. We in the family are proud of it. Maybe celebrate it. When I got a job, for example, I went out with closest friends and celebrated it. But I did not run around thinking I am the best.

[robertjonsson]

You certain can be proud over yourself or for what you have achieved, but just don't brag about it.

[snukums]

About your question how swedish people would react to someone bragging about something like that. I understand that the achievement makes you proud and you should be. The thing is, in Sweden you can brag when it's freshly achieved, then it's time to move on :)

[johnvaller]

In scandinavian countries we value people NOT money!
