意味
To be delayed on the road.
文化的背景
Punctuality is sacred. If you are 5 minutes late, you must call. 'Sitta fast i trafiken' is the most common and accepted excuse. The 'Essingeleden' highway is famous for traffic jams. Mentioning it specifically adds credibility to your excuse. The 'Tingstadstunneln' is the local equivalent of a traffic nightmare. People here often say they are 'fast i tunneln'. Traffic jams are rare, but 'viltolyckor' (accidents with wild animals) or tractor convoys can cause you to 'sitta fast'.
Use it as an excuse
It is the most polite way to say you are late without sounding irresponsible.
Don't forget the 'n'
Always say 'trafiken' (definite), never just 'trafik'.
