意味
To clean up liquid or moisture.
文化的背景
Swedes are very particular about wooden floors. Leaving water on them can cause damage, so 'torka upp' is taught to children very early. In shared office kitchens, there is a strong 'do it yourself' culture. Leaving a spill for the cleaning staff is considered rude. In 'förskola' (preschool), children are encouraged to help 'torka upp' their own spills to build independence. The concept of 'ordning' (order) extends to the physical state of the home. A spill is a disruption of 'ordning'.
The Stress Rule
If you don't stress 'upp', Swedes might not understand that you are talking about cleaning a spill. The particle is the key!
Floor Safety
In Sweden, 'torka upp' is often a safety warning. If someone says 'Torka upp!', they might mean the floor is slippery.
