They come in time. They leave in time. To get some recover\u00a0from a stressful workweek some Swedish people decided to introduce a relaxing\u00a0activity on Fridays, called\u00a0<em>fredagsmys<\/em>,\u00a0literally &#8220;Friday cosiness&#8221;.<\/p>\n<h2>How to <em>fredagsmys<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>Ideally a <em>fredagsmys<\/em>\u00a0happens right after having taccos for dinner. Having taccos for dinner is called a\u00a0<em>tacco kv\u00e4ll<\/em>, &#8220;tacco evening&#8221;. Which\u00a0is a great compromise if two people in a relationship\u00a0won&#8217;t able to agree whether to eat pizza or sushi that evening.<\/p>\n<p>Finding the right food for a (hopefully) romantic and relaxing Friday tends to be\u00a0less difficult than finding a TV show or movie both parts agree on. Not too long ago, you could observe\u00a0Swedish couples standing in front of a shelve at\u00a0<em>Hemmakv\u00e4ll<\/em> (DVD rental) and hear\u00a0an annoyed man saying to a\u00a0woman &#8220;You said I can decide&#8221; after she replied to all\u00a0his suggestions with a &#8220;<em>N\u00e4\u00e4\u00e4h<\/em>&#8220;. Nowadays, these discussions have moved to the sofa, from where\u00a0Swedes\u00a0just download or stream.<\/p>\n<h3>Fredagsmys snacks<\/h3>\n<p>Important: Don\u2019t forget some crunchy snacks! Chips are widely associated with\u00a0a <em>Fredagsmys<\/em> in Sweden. Rumor has it that a chips producer (OLW) came up with the idea of <em>fredagsmys<\/em> to promote their snacks.\u00a0Their TV advertisement was underlined with a catchy melody\u00a0that every Swedes knows &#8220;Nu \u00e4r det freeedagsmyyys&#8230; &#8220;.

One semester turned into more than a decade. In 2011 he started the blog Hej Sweden in order to share his Swedish experiences and love for Sweden and the Swedes with others who are keen to learn more about this beautiful country.\u00a0 One result of his constant attempt to discover what it means to live in Sweden like a typical Swede, is the book How to be Swedish - A Quick Guide to Swedishness - In 55 Steps (here on Amazon, also available in German)\u00a0 For more about Matthias and Hej Sweden, have a look at the About page.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/hejsweden\/","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@hejsweden"],"url":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/author\/matthias-admin\/"}]}},"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Fredagsmys-cozy-Friday-How-to-be-Swedish-s.jpg","featured_image_src_square":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Fredagsmys-cozy-Friday-How-to-be-Swedish-s.jpg","author_info":{"display_name":"Matthias Kamann","author_link":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/author\/matthias-admin\/"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5112","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5112"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5112\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5231"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5112"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5112"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5112"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
