Fika is basically having a chat whilst drinking a hot beverage (tea, coffee, hot chocolate etc) and having some cake or a small bite. No rules on what to drink, eat, time, place or company. Mazarin = one of the cakes on the table Påtår = refill Lika = alike Fin servis = dinnerware Ballerina = the name of a certain cookie brand which is pretty big in Sweden Damsugarees = the green/brown cookie on the table
So glad you tried my recommendation. This song is funny and hits a little too close to home for comfort. Fika is sweden, fika is life. It allows us to socialize and talk about things, both big and small. It's even more important now days as the internet makes us see each other less and less.
This song i soo true at work to. Every time everything just goes wrong or you and your colleague are geting agitated at each other you decide it's time to take a fika and then everything is fine afterwards🤣🤣 Is that just a swedish thing or do other countries do that?😆
As long as the rivalry is for fun and not a serious fight im all for it. Its the same with Sweden-Denmark rivalry but i dont really dislike danes. I dont even dislike 08or but i sure do love to talk shit about them, but with a good amount of love behind it. Its just fun with rivalry, but some people take that shit way to serious which is just idiotic.
In Sweden if you are going to date a guy / girl for the first time, you meet over a fika and talk and see if there will be something more. Women who go out shopping together usually take a break from shopping to go and have fika, the same applies to men. a play corner that some cafes have.
I'm curious, the people around you doesn't use "ta en kaffe" and "ta en fika" as subtly different things? Most people I've met use the "ta en kaffe" when the coffee is the main point, and "ta en fika" when the pastry and unwinding is the main point. (Kinda similar to how brits have a difference between "having a cup of tea" and "having afternoon tea") (In large parts of the world having pastry with coffee or tea is not the norm - but it is in the nordics) (for non-swedes: "ta en" ~ "have a")
@@Herr_U yea sure the meaning is slightly diffrent obviously since kaffe is a drink or a plant or a bean, while fika has become a word for more of a moment, a sit down, and a pause espescially. and yes, most often also eating something is implyed. BUT it does NOT have to be pastry. thats the whole tourist thing that want to seem like the brits afternoon tea or something. fika can be anything with kaffe, fruit or nuts or an ölkorv or skorpor or whatever. mackor. mackor eveyrwhere. but yeah i dont eat any grains and i still fika so yea cheers
@@audhumbla6927 I agree with "having a light snack" would have been a better phrasing than "pastry" (especially if one considers a plate of cold cuts (småskuret/kallskuret)).

Mazarin = one of the cakes on the table
Påtår = refill
Lika = alike
Fin servis = dinnerware
Ballerina = the name of a certain cookie brand which is pretty big in Sweden
Damsugarees = the green/brown cookie on the table
he tasted ballerina a couple of days ago in his video of trying swedish sweets
Fin servis = fine china, your nice cups and saucers you only use at special occasions.
I love this song. It's funny and presents a few of the most common Swedish "fika". I listen to this song from time to time just to be.cheered up..
At least once a day 😂👍🏻 /Swede
Great idea to share this music video with "trolls" and haters (and "invaders" ??) out there... Greetings from Sweden! 🇸🇪

Is that just a swedish thing or do other countries do that?😆
🙏🙏🙏🙏😊😊😊
Påtår means a second cup.
i wonder how many takes they did and if they even eat any of those sweets anymore....
They are actually wrong about how to pronounce "kex"! Just so you know. But it goes better with "say kex with a k"!
Ahh the age old rivalry between tjex which is grammatically correct and kex since it's the " loan word" cakes.
It may be grammatically correct but do you pronounce "mig" and "dig" grammatically correct aswell then? ;) Probably not. Majority rules.
@@n0namesowhatblerp362 🤣 ofcourse they don't 😁

@P I am not attracted to Swedish women. Prefers from the country that is considered to have the most beautiful and smartest women in the world.
Im that idiot that says ”tjex” and not ”kex”😭 if u ask me “tjex” is the only right pronunciation😭😂
How dare you!!!
FIKA is just an old slang for KAFI (kaffe/coffee),
It just means to have a coffee. The whole hype is just a tourist thing and its fricking annoying

It's not though. I'm born and raised here and fika is very much a thing we do idek what you're on about.

@@Herr_U yea, but pastry is what often comes to mind, cheers for a healthy peaceful future
