Bedeutung
Putting up with something difficult.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The 'Swedish Winter' is the ultimate test of 'stå ut'. There is a cultural expectation that you endure the darkness without too much 'gnäll' (whining), often aided by 'mys' (coziness). Similar to the Swedish 'stå ut', the Finnish concept of 'Sisu' is a more extreme version of endurance and grit. While 'stå ut' is a verb, 'Sisu' is a character trait. In American culture, 'standing out' is usually positive (being unique). This causes major confusion for Americans learning Swedish who try to use 'stå ut' as a compliment. The Japanese 'Gaman' is often compared to Swedish stoicism. Both cultures value the ability to endure social friction for the sake of group harmony.
The 'Med' Rule
If you add an object, you MUST add 'med'. 'Jag står inte ut med dig' (I can't stand you).
Don't be too rude
Saying 'Jag står inte ut med dig' is very strong. Use it only if you are truly angry.
