Bedeutung
To change direction
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Swedish sports culture, 'en vändning' is often associated with the 'VM 94' spirit—the idea that you never give up until the last second. Swedish business culture values 'förankring' (consensus). A 'vändning' usually happens after much discussion, not as a top-down whim. A 'u-sväng' (U-turn) is a common political insult in Sweden, used to accuse opponents of being inconsistent. Sweden has strict rules about where you can 'göra en vändning'. Doing it on a highway is a serious offense.
