意思
To behave in a bold or disrespectful way.
文化背景
In Sweden, 'ta sig ton' is heavily linked to the concept of 'lagom' and 'Jantelagen'. It is a way to socially police people who act too individualistic or superior. In Finnish-Swedish culture, the phrase is also used, but it might be met with 'sisu' (stoic determination). Taking a tone is seen as a lack of self-control. Norway has a similar phrase 'ta seg til rette', which is more about taking liberties, but 'ta seg ton' is understood and used similarly to describe arrogance. In modern Swedish tech startups, 'ta sig ton' is becoming slightly less negative as 'flat hierarchies' encourage everyone to speak up, but the 'disrespectful' nuance remains.
