معنی
Failing to catch a train on time.
زمینه فرهنگی
Punctuality is a core Swedish value. Being late for a train is seen as a personal failure in time management. Swedes are early adopters of technology. The phrase is frequently used in boardrooms to push for innovation. The concept of 'fika' often causes people to almost miss their trains because they lose track of time while chatting. In Stockholm, missing a train (the metro) is no big deal because the next one comes in 3 minutes. In rural Sweden, missing the train can mean waiting 24 hours.
Use it for excuses
It is the most socially acceptable excuse for being late in Sweden, as everyone empathizes with the stress of the railway.
Don't say 'tappa'
Using 'tappa' makes you sound like you lost a toy train. Always use 'missa'.
