Vet inte direkt vad amerikaner tänker när de gör det är svin orespektfult till kassören och till andra kunder tar mer tid och mer jobb till den som jobbar

I USA har de ingen kultur av solidaritet. Man tror på individens fulla makt över sig själv. Så ja på det sättet han säger det. Amerikaner gör det som är mest bekvämt för dem och struntar i att kassören kommer få det jobbigt. Det är inte ovanligt i USA att kvinnor är hemmafruar heller. När de går och handlar kan de lösa in massor med rabattkuponger och då menar jag inte 5-10 stycken. De kan komma med en hel pärm full.

Här kan du ladda ner senaste kända dödssiffrorna: www.scb.se/om-scb/nyheter-och-pressmeddelanden/scb-publicerar-preliminar-statistik-over-doda-i-sverige/ En analys från den datan visar att antal döda för 2020 kommer att bli ca 97 000. (Kolla själv 20 januari så ska du se att jag hade rätt, plus minus 800 personer!) Påstående kring karta nr. 2 är nästan lika idiotiskt. USA har 35,6 fler konstaterade smittade än vad Kanada har. Det vore synnerligen märkligt om det inte reflekterades på kartan. Dessutom är det så att John Hopkins ligger i USA och t.ex. kan ha tillgång till en stor mängd data från mindre orter runt om i USA på ett sätt man kanske inte har från andra länder.

I think it also has to do with how politics work here. In USA, for example, it's winner takes all, whereas here it doesn't seem like there's as much as stake. The losing parties still have a place in riksdagen.

@@isabellaanaya4169 the U.S seem to be all about winning and losing. They know very little about the world in general since when you ask them where Sweden is located (average American) they'll point it out in either Switzerland or Scotland. To make matters even worse, the people who gets the best education is the rich. Also I hate it how they divide their people into races/colors. You have to fill in a form as a citizen where it says [Race]. I had friends who filled in all of those colors in a paper for applying to a new school because they took a DNA test and found that they were very mixed but they were later told by their School board that they could only pick 1. If that's not racist then I don't know what is. Sweden (like Denmark, Norway etc) works very differently from America. I have never seen a country categorize their people into colors. Here in Sweden when someone commits a crime and they are perhaps East Asian, you don't tell the 112 operator that they're Chinese or whatever since it doesn't make any sense besides, other than being plain racist. I had trouble a while back with a gang of boys kicking on my door and when I opened it I only saw 1 of their faces since the others cover them with their shirts. I called it in to the police and explain to them what happened. I described the boy as being a person of darker skin, seemingly thick curly hair, eye color and clothing but I never even once said what race he was since I didn't know. Race isn't something Swedes are that professional with since we don't judge people by their skin color but rather their personality. My point is, we can live in a world where race isn't even a thing. We shouldn't even categorize people into races since we all share 1 common ancestor way back in time (if that's what you want to believe).

@@isabellaanaya4169 Great point

Ya

Agreee

I think it may also have to do with that we differentiate more between friends and acquaintances. Because we definitely joke around with friends. Acquaintances or friends of friends not so much, because you don't know where you have them.

I also agree. I would say irony is very standard in northern Europe, and is a type of humour that isn´t easily understood in other parts of the world. I travel a lot (not this year!) and have friends all over the world, and I´ve learnt that I have to make my jokes much more obvious than the slight sarcasm that can be used in Sweden. So this one is more about what types of jokes work and do not work. Joking is the kind of aspect of learning a language and a culture that takes the longest time to learn, in my opinion. I am very fluent in English and Spanish, to the point that ppl sometimes mistake me for a native at first. But when it comes around to joking, I still miss a lot of codes.

Agree. Could not relate to the “non banter” at all. I feel like that’s all we do 😅

@@cyneathiajones-gray5958 you meant to write American, common mistake. you are forgiven.

I'm actually confused about putting all the barcodes in the same direction to be scanned? Do they use a handheld scanner? I understand taking everything out of the basket to make the cashier's life easier but as far as lining up the barcodes in the United States the majority of the time items are scanned in a way where you would need to lay them down, so lining up the barcodes wouldn't matter one way or the other

@@kellyjelly1086 no, it's not hand-held but often it's a standing one in front of them that faces them. Therefore it makes their job easier and faster by making the barcodes face yourself.

Yes! I agree. We also just in general like to take our chances to practice English when we can. That might be why many foreigners also think that we are good at speaking English. An other reason why we might learn English fast is because we, compared to many other European countries, don't dub movies in to Swedish very often. We enjoy watching movies in their original language. Especially if the original language is Swedish. (Love you're videos)

We Brits are definitely the worst out of the 3 for that, especially the southern English. I’ve found Americans are more direct, Australians too (although not as direct as Americans). We don’t always realise we are doing it. I think it comes from worrying about making others feel awkward or uncomfortable and not wanting to come across as rude or demanding. The more indirect someone is, the more polite or gentle they are trying to be (generally speaking). Of course it totally changes after a few pints.

People in my country (in South America) would also find it weird. The basket usually ends on the floor while the groceries move over the conveyor belt. By the way, I used to live in Sweden many years ago.

That’s everywhere in the world except apparently America. Here in Australia you are considered rude and self entitled. Don’t be surprised if the cashier just tips the basket over instead of handling your groceries gently.

I’m American and I’ve never seen someone do this in the US 😆 so strange

They hate it trust me

I would imagine that shifts within the country. Sure many Swedes just like not to bother others but it's not like small talk never happens. I wouldn't strike up a conversation in the middle of the city but surely I have talked to people who were unknown to me when the setting was right. Last time I remember was some week ago when I gave this lady at the bus stop a compliment for how she styled her hair (it was similar texture to mine) and we talked about ways to make the waves behave. When I'm in the outskirts of the city or in the countryside I feel like these conversations become more frequent.

@@tashaneuhaus idk im swedish and if someone starts a small talk i dont really give a shit

But instead have a aparment building or area specific washroom that you rent, for free, it's part of the rent. So borrow might be a better word? Regardless. No washing machines. i've never owned one.

Its weird cus most swedes speaks perfect english. You can survive in Sweden not speakingh the language but sometimes it gets complicated.

As a Danish person I try to speak Swedish here, but when young people hear my shit accent they start speaking in English, haha. So it's a bit difficult to learn properly unless you have a Swedish partner, Swedish job or close Swedish friends, I think.

You could say that about moving to any country but even just visiting. The problem with too many Americans like my father, is the high level of demand and you need to cater to me attitude. English is universal so why bother? That’s his attitude. It looks bad. Even just learn how to say you speak English or when he came to visit me over here in Germany a few times. Learn how to damn well say that you don’t speak German, you speak English. You might have somebody rambling to you in German asking for directions. Or same thing if he were to visit Sweden. Learn how to say it get yourself out of an awkward situation.
