خلفية ثقافية
The 'Saltsjöbadsandan' (The Saltsjöbad Spirit) is a famous historical agreement where labor and capital decided to 'förstå varandra' to avoid strikes. Inter-Scandinavian communication (Swedish, Danish, Norwegian) is often described as 'att förstå varandra' despite speaking different languages. Meetings in Sweden are often long because the goal is for everyone to 'förstå varandra' before a decision is made (Consensus culture). Swedes value 'emotional intelligence'. Saying 'vi förstår varandra' is often a sign that a relationship is becoming serious.
