Expressing Swedish Love


Source: "The Swedish Toolkit"

--

Swedes are often more subtle in their praise and careful in their expression of feelings


While in many countries we learn to express feelings openly from a young age


Swedes often imply it


Rather than saying it out straight


There is not much facial expression


Not much body movement


Speech is indirect

 

If you are used to a culture

Which uses a lot facial expression

Body movement

Clear speech

When expressing feelings in a relationship

Be aware that Swedes mean the same thing

They just express it differently
