意思
Wanting to learn.
文化背景
The 'Nyfiken i en strut' rhyme is a cultural staple. It's a gentle way to tell someone they are being too nosy. Being 'nyfiken' is a top-rated soft skill in Swedish job ads. It implies you are innovative and open to change. Vilgot Sjöman's famous (and controversial) film 'Jag är nyfiken - gul' used the word to represent a generation's search for social and sexual truth in the 1960s. While Swedes are 'nyfikna', they often wait for you to offer information rather than asking directly, to avoid being 'obekväm' (uncomfortable).
Use 'Jättenyfiken'
Add 'jätte-' to the front to sound like a native when you are really excited to know something.
Watch the 'Ett' words
Don't say 'Ett nyfiken barn'. It sounds very 'foreign'. Always 'Ett nyfiket barn'.

Usually no, it's friendly. But if you follow it with a very personal question, it might be seen as prying.
