Significado
Asking someone to contact you later.
Contexto cultural
Swedes value 'independence' and 'non-interference'. 'Hör av dig' is the perfect phrase because it invites contact without demanding it, respecting the other person's schedule. In Swedish offices, 'Hör av dig' is used by managers to signal an 'open door policy'. It reduces the power distance between boss and employee. Sweden is one of the most digitized countries. 'Hör av dig' in a text often implies 'Send me a DM' or 'Slack me' rather than a phone call. The 'three-day rule' is less common in Sweden. 'Hör av dig' after a date is a green light to send a text even the next morning.
The 'Dej' Secret
Always pronounce 'dig' as 'dej' to sound like a native. If you say 'dig' with a hard 'g', you will sound like a robot or a priest reading the Bible.
Don't forget the 'av'
Saying 'Hör dig' is a common mistake that changes the meaning to 'Hear yourself'.
