뜻
Being excited about future events.
문화적 배경
The concept of 'förväntan' is huge in Sweden, especially regarding the seasons. People will start saying they 'se fram mot' the summer as early as February. Swedes value 'fika' culture. It is very common to end a meeting by saying you look forward to the next fika or social gathering to build 'teambuilding'. In Finland-Swedish, you might hear 'se fram emot' just as often, but there is sometimes a slightly more formal tone in written correspondence compared to Sweden-Swedish. Before Midsommar, the phrase is everywhere. It's the most anticipated day of the year for many, and the 'se fram mot' energy is at its peak.
Use 'emot' for a more natural flow
In casual conversation, 'se fram emot' often rolls off the tongue more easily than 'se fram mot'.
Don't forget the 'att'
If you follow the phrase with an action (verb), you MUST use 'att'. 'Jag ser fram mot att äta' is correct; 'Jag ser fram mot äta' is wrong.

No, that would be very sarcastic and rude.
Jag såg fram mot... (I looked forward to...).
Jag ser verkligen fram mot det!
Absolutely, it's very common in texts.
You can say 'Jag längtar och ser fram mot...', but it's a bit repetitive.
