I think it's such an interesting insight into the word. Some time ago, I did a post that talked about this definition a bit. http://sandracarpenter.net/2009/03/30/a-little-more-swedish-lagom/ Liselotte,

When they sat around a table the first drink was in just one jar or mug (?) and should be shared of them all. So, they had to just take a (lagom) sip so even the last man did get a sip of mjöd (a early kind of beer). So the word "lag" (in this case all men around the table) A "lag" can also mean "team". "om" (in this case around the table). It´s a bit complicated to explain even in swedish for me as a swede, but I hope you got something out of this.

And with the heat wave we have to keep all windows open all the time, so the noise can get out of control. Oyi veys. I have a question for you. I'm writing about lagom and asking bloggers (expats and swedes) about their opinion of lagom and how swedes use it in culture, daily life, work. Would be great to hear your opinion too. Please email me for more info. I live on Hornsgatan and for the first time in months, the cacophony of horns, buses, irritating motorcycles, and construction crew have calmed down.
