Sweden wants you to say HEJ/HELLO!

*COMMENT BELOW, what's your view of Swedish stereotypes, do you chat to everyone, or are you afraid to do so?*

[@SinaFarhat]

Trevligt att se dig :)

[@BeingSwenglish]

Tack!!

Living in a small (around 4500) village in Sweden as a native I celebrate a smile to a stranger every day. And guess what, people smile back, well most of them.❤

[@BeingSwenglish]

That's lovely Michael, glad to hear!! Thanks for the comment!

"It's in the middle of nowhere" Such a southern kinda rude thing to say lol :P

[@BeingSwenglish]

Lol, sorry, but it's not exactly "central" is it ☺️ thanks for the comment

[@LGNilsson]

Lu-Le-Å 😉 And it's considered a big city up there. You should visit, it's quite quaint and not at all as dark as you think in winter, courtesy of the snow.

[@BeingSwenglish]

I knew I'd pronounce it wrong ☺️☺️ typical! One day, maybe we'll stop by!

[@Mycenaea]

Lu:-lä-å. Or as people up here say it; we drop the å at the end and just say Lu:-lä.

[@BeingSwenglish]

I knew that I'd pronounce it incorrectly 😂 thanks for the comment!

[@tzzebra]

Proper pronunciation is without the Å.

[@superslammer]

I'm in Mönlycke near Göteborg and I haven't had a problem with people talking to me. I can hardly leave my neighborhood without someone trying to stop me and chat up :D

[@BeingSwenglish]

Haha such a stud 😂😂

[@AsaBjorkbacka]

Det lite konstiga är att när man träffar på nån i skogen säger vi alltid Hej! Men när vi går på stan säger vi inte Hej!

[@BeingSwenglish]

Lol so true! The power of the Swedish forest ☺️ thanks for the comment!

Many of these rumors about the Skandinaviens being anti social and quiet 🤫 🤫 is just myths 🤐However in the far north of Sweden where the Sami people live with their reindeer herds they tend to be a bit more silent 😶but that's just because there's not so many around to talk to😁just their reindeer and the trees in the wood 🌲🌳🌳🌲😆

[@superslammer]

What I've found as far as facebook groups is that people tend to complain a whole lot about how nobody likes them... I mean hell if you talk shit about swedes, they'll likely not like you :D I always say hej to everyone. So much so that the corner shop near me tries to buy all the things I like. And I have so many people in my area who ave offered to help me with things I need help with and without asking for money :) btw.... hubba hubba.... You probably already know who i am :D

[@BeingSwenglish]

Haha I know who that is 😂😂 yeah you're right they moan about Swedish and Sweden, generally they're miserable attention-seekers, hence why I started my group, to create a happy and decent place with lovely people!
