When you are in Sweden and want to buy a coffee or cinnamon bun, you pay with Swedish Crowns (SEK). In many other European countries – the Euro-zone – though, you pay with Euros (EUR). Different countries, different currencies. Okay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, if you’re used to pay with Euros and find yourself wondering wheter the SEK 30 for a coffee is a good price in Euro, the only thing you have to do is moving the comma one digit to the left. SEK 30 \u2248 EUR 3. Easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what does this have to do with calculating distances in Sweden<\/strong>? Well, every time I talk to a Swede about how far they go by car, say from V\u00e4xj\u00f6 to their hometown somewhere in the forests of Sm\u00e5land, they might answer “15 mil<\/strong>“. (Pronounced: “meel”, like in “feel”.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“15 … what?!? Miles?!”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Swedes measure longer distances in “Swedish miles”, not in kilometers! <\/p>

\"Book<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

1 Swedish mile = 10 kilometers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which means to get home to her family my friend drives about 150 km. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My persistent confusion with “mil” and “kilometer”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even after many years in Sweden, I still get confused when I have to talk to a Swede about distances. Like today when I went to a car workshop to check why my dashboard panel tells me my brake pads should be replaced. I talk to the repair guy and mentioned that: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It’s a bit early for replacement since I just got completely sets of brakes about
… erm … <\/em>
(Thoughts: 20.000 km, how much is that in Swedish miles)
… erm …
<\/em>(damn it, I just say it in kilometers)
(no, I sound un-Swedish when I say kilometers, I should show respect and adjust to their way of expressing things)
20 mil.
<\/em>(shit that’s wrong. I just say it in kilimoters)
20.000 kilometers.<\/em>” :\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What my brain wasn’t capable of in this moment of stress, trying to find the right words to describe the problem (in -5\u00b0C), in Swedish, was moving the comma in the number of kilometers one digit to the right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

20.000 km become 2.000 mil (Swedish miles) Hur sv\u00e5rt kan det vara?! How difficult can it be?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With an appointment for an electronics checkup made and the feeling of disappointment over my slow thinking speed, I leave the workshop yard. Making a note to myself to finally write down a memory hook to avoid these confusing situations. So here it is: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SEK to EUR: comma to the left (SEK 30 \u2248 EUR 3)
Swedish “mil” to kilometers: comma to the right (15 mil \u2248 150 km)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, I already know I will mix this up again, very soon, in a conversation with Swedes about distances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Something that is very likely to come out of my mouth in the future: “Oh, you go by car to work, every day, about 10 mil… why don’t you take the bike?” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
