Contexto cultural
The 'OSA' (Om Svar Anhålles) is taken very seriously. Swedes like to plan ahead, so 'tacka ja' should be done well before the deadline. Accepting a fika invitation is a key social lubricant. Even if you are busy, 'tacka ja' occasionally is important for office harmony. In formal letters, 'tacka ja' is often expanded to 'tacka ja med stor glädje' (accept with great joy). On Facebook events, the 'Going' button is the digital equivalent of 'att tacka ja'.
The 'Till' Rule
Always remember the preposition 'till'. You tackar ja TILL something.
Don't be too literal
Don't just say 'Jag säger ja' for an invite. It sounds a bit childish or robotic.
