Significado
Having confidence in another person.
Contexto cultural
Sweden is a 'high-trust' society. This means people generally trust the government, the police, and even strangers. This is called 'tillit'. In Swedish workplaces, 'lita på' is essential for the flat hierarchy. Managers trust employees to do their work without being watched. Breaking someone's trust (att svika någons förtroende) is one of the worst social mistakes you can make in Sweden. Swedes are very quick to adopt digital systems (like BankID) because they 'litar på' the security and the institutions behind them.

Lita vs Tro
