A casual way to end a conversation.
خلفية ثقافية
Swedes often use 'Vi hörs' as a way to avoid 'The Awkward Goodbye'. It provides a quick, polite exit that doesn't require a long explanation of where you are going. In a professional setting, 'Vi hörs' signals that the conversation is over but the project is ongoing. It is a sign of a good working relationship. In Stockholm, 'Hörs!' is often barked out quickly. In the north (Norrland), it might be accompanied by the famous 'inhale-suck' sound of agreement. Sweden is one of the most cashless and digital societies. 'Vi hörs' is now the default way to end interactions on Slack, Teams, and Swish comments.
The 'Sen' Shortcut
In 90% of casual texts, just write 'Hörs sen!'. It's the ultimate cool-guy Swedish sign-off.
Don't be too literal
If someone says 'Vi hörs senare', they might not actually call you today. It's often just a polite way to end the conversation.
