Signification
Wishing someone a safe journey.
Contexte culturel
Swedes often travel to their 'sommarstuga' (summer house) during July. Wishing someone a 'trevlig resa' during this time is almost a daily occurrence. In Swedish business culture, it is very common to end a meeting with 'Trevlig resa' if you know a participant has to catch a train or flight immediately after. The Swedish national rail (SJ) uses this phrase in almost every automated and live announcement, making it one of the first phrases immigrants and tourists hear. On Swedish Instagram, 'Trevlig resa' is the standard comment for any photo involving a passport, a wing of an airplane, or a packed car.
The Silent G
In most Swedish dialects, the 'g' in 'trevlig' is not pronounced. Say 'trev-lee' to sound more like a native.
Detsamma!
If someone wishes you a 'Trevlig resa' and they are also traveling, you can reply with 'Tack, detsamma!' (Thanks, same to you!).

4 questionsYes, but it might sound a bit formal. For a very short ride, a simple 'Hejdå' is more common.
Both are correct. 'Trevlig resa!' is the short exclamation, while 'Ha en trevlig resa' is the full sentence.
'Resa' is a journey or trip. 'Tur' is often used for a short outing, a hike, or a round-trip (e.g., 'en cykeltur').
