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
"Swedes are subtle in their praise and careful in their expression of feelings."
