意思
Preparing the table for a meal.
文化背景
The 'Nobelmiddagen' table setting is a matter of national pride, featuring specific Orrefors glass and Rörstrand porcelain. Candles are almost mandatory for a 'mysig' (cozy) table setting, even in the middle of the day during winter. Children are often taught to 'duka bordet' as their first household chore to encourage participation in family life. The 'fika' ritual has its own informal table setting rules, often involving a 'kakfat' (cake stand).
The 'Av' Rule
Always remember 'av' to clear. If you say 'Jag dukar' after dinner, people will think you're bringing out more food!
Avoid 'Set'
Never translate 'set' literally. 'Sätta bordet' sounds like you are a giant moving furniture.

Candle Magic
In Sweden, a table isn't truly 'dukat' until the candles are lit. It's the secret to 'mys'.
