뜻
To follow the rhythm.
문화적 배경
The 'Allsång på Skansen' tradition is a prime example of Swedes 'hålla takten' together. It is a national televised event where everyone sings along to classic songs. Swedes value 'fika' (coffee breaks), but they also value efficiency. 'Hålla takten' in the office means respecting everyone's time by staying on schedule. Sweden has a strong tradition of municipal music schools (Kulturskolan). 'Hålla takten' is one of the first things children learn there. In the popular activity of Nordic walking, 'hålla takten' refers to the rhythmic use of poles to maintain a steady, healthy pace.
Use it for work!

Definite form is key
Always say 'takten' (the beat), not just 'takt'. 'Hålla takt' sounds like a broken translation.
