Why don't Swedes talk to each other?

For Swedes, simple social contacts or talking while walking are something useless and meaningless. In fact, the Swedes give this type of conversation the name "kallprat", which in Swedish means "cold conversation", but also the name "dödprat", which means "dead conversation".

According to a BBC investigation, the main reason why Swedes avoid talking in the street even for formal social contact is because they believe that the purpose of a conversation is to exchange essential information rather than small talk.

Over the past four weeks, Luleå, the capital of Sweden's northernmost county, Norrbotten, with a population of around 80,000, has launched an official campaign called "Say Hello" in an effort to encourage residents to exchange greetings with each other. - the other. Campaign organizers hope this move can help lift the mood of local residents, especially those who may feel lonely.

Some scientists, trying to explain this phenomenon, claim that the Swedes live in a sparsely populated country with a large area.

Another hypothesis is that this antipathy to gossip may be related to relatively low levels of emigration to Sweden until the 1960s.

Minimal exposure to other cultures historically meant that Swedes were less likely to embrace this distinctly un-Swedish practice.

And yet, despite their cold exterior, Swedes will almost always be polite and friendly, albeit just in a different way than more talkative cultures.

In a country that respects simplicity and practicality, it is better not to talk without reason.
