Ha råd att

To afford to

معنی

To have the means to do something.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

Swedes value financial transparency and modesty. Saying 'Jag har inte råd' is seen as responsible rather than shameful. In Swedish companies, 'ha råd' is often used in flat hierarchies to discuss priorities. Even a junior employee might ask if the company 'har råd' to ignore a certain trend. Among students, 'ha råd' is a constant topic due to the 'CSN' (student loan) cycle. The week before the loan arrives, no one 'har råd' to do anything. Historically, 'råd' was linked to the 'Riksråd' (Council of the Realm). To have 'råd' was to have a voice in the nation's affairs.

💡

The 'Med' Rule

Always use 'med' for things (nouns) and 'att' for actions (verbs).

⚠️

Don't use 'Kan'

Avoid saying 'Jag kan råd'. It's a very common beginner mistake.
