Bedeutung
To be traveling toward a destination.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The 'Jag är på väg' text is a common social lie. It often means the person is just about to leave, not that they are already traveling. In professional settings, being 'på väg' to a meeting is expected to be literal. If you say it, you should be physically moving. In cities like Stockholm, 'på väg' often implies being on the Tunnelbana (subway). People often specify which line they are on.
The 'Att' Rule
Always use 'att' if you want to say you are 'about to' do an action. Without 'att', it must be a destination.
Don't say 'i väg'
If you are moving toward someone, never say 'i väg'. It sounds like you are leaving them!
