B1 Expression رسمی

vara vid gott mod

be in good spirits

معنی

To feel optimistic and happy.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

The phrase reflects the 'stoisk' (stoic) nature of Swedish culture, where maintaining composure in adversity is highly valued. It is a staple of 19th and early 20th-century Swedish literature, often used to describe heroes or resilient peasants. Historically, it was a common phrase among sailors and in naval commands to maintain discipline and hope. In modern Swedish offices, it's used during 'omorganisation' (reorganization) to keep morale high without sounding overly emotional.

A little bit, but in a good way. It sounds dignified and sincere, not obsolete. It's still used in news and formal speech.

Yes! 'Jag är vid gott mod' is a common way to say you're doing okay despite challenges.

'Mod' is your deeper spirit or courage. 'Humör' is your temporary mood (happy, sad, angry).

It's an old grammatical construction. Just like 'vid liv' (alive), 'vid' is used for certain states of being.

It's grammatically possible but rare. Usually, we use 'modfälld' or 'nedstämd' for the negative.

Yes, especially by leaders during difficult times to encourage their team.

It sounds like the English word 'mood', not 'mod' as in 'modern'.

You can, but they might find 'Håll modet uppe' easier to understand.

Yes, many Swedish hymns and older folk songs use this phrase.

Not exactly. It means 'stay positive and brave'. It's about the spirit, not just the action.
