Significado
To completely share an opinion.
Contexto cultural
The 'Consensus Culture' (Konsensuskultur) means that Swedes often spend a long time in meetings to ensure everyone 'håller med' before a decision is made. In Swedish offices, flat hierarchies mean that even the boss wants the employees to 'hålla med' rather than just following orders. Swedes use 'Håller med!' as a very common comment to show support without needing to write a long reply. In seminars, it is common to start a critique by saying what you 'håller med fullständigt' about before pointing out flaws.
The 'Med' Stress
Always stress the word 'med'. If you stress 'hålla', it sounds like you are just physically holding something.
Don't say 'Jag är håller med'
This is the most common error for English speakers. Just say 'Jag håller med'.
