意味
Stopping work for a rest.
文化的背景
The 'fika' is the most famous version of taking a break. It's not just coffee; it's a social institution that happens at 10:00 and 15:00 in most workplaces. In Finland, taking a break often involves a sauna, even during some business retreats or social gatherings. The Pomodoro technique (25 mins work, 5 mins break) is very popular in Swedish tech hubs like Stockholm. Children have a 'rast' between every lesson. It is culturally expected that they go outdoors, regardless of rain or cold.
The 'Ska vi' trick
Always use 'Ska vi ta en paus?' to sound polite and collaborative in a group.
Don't say 'göra'
Even if your native language says 'make a break', remember Swedes 'take' them.
