意思
Not leaving one's chair.
文化背景
The 'Långfika' culture encourages people to 'sitta kvar' for hours. It is seen as a sign of a successful social interaction. Historically, 'kvarsittning' was a common punishment. Today, it is legally restricted and rarely used, replaced by 'pedagogiska samtal'. The term 'sitta kvar' is used neutrally in media, but can be used pejoratively by opponents to suggest someone is 'clinging' to power. On Swedish buses, it is polite to 'sitta kvar' until the bus has almost reached a complete stop, though many Swedes rush to the door early.
The 'Inte' Rule
Always put 'inte' before 'kvar'. It's the easiest way to sound like a native.
Don't use for dogs
To a dog, you just say 'Sitt!'. 'Sitt kvar' is for humans.
