意思
Receiving payment for work.
文化背景
The 'Law of Jante' makes it culturally taboo to brag about how much you earn. If you 'tjänar mycket pengar', it's better to be humble about it. Transparency is high. You can look up anyone's income, which makes 'tjäna pengar' a topic of public record but private conversation. The gender pay gap is a frequent topic of discussion in Swedish media, often using the phrase 'tjäna mindre' to describe women's salaries compared to men's. Youth culture values 'sommarjobb' highly. It's a rite of passage for teenagers to 'tjäna sina egna pengar' for the first time.
Drop the 'pengar'
In casual Swedish, you can just say 'Jag tjänar bra' (I earn well). Everyone knows you mean money.
Don't say 'göra pengar'
Unless you are a criminal printing money, avoid 'göra pengar'. It's a classic 'Swenglish' mistake.
