Fika (culture)
''Fika'' ((:ˈfiːˌka)) is a concept in Swedish culture with the basic meaning "to have coffee", often accompanied with pastries or sandwiches. A more contemporary generalised meaning of the word, where the coffee may be replaced by tea or even juice, lemonade or squash for children, has become widespread. In some social circles, even just a sandwich or a small meal may be denoted a fika similar to the English concept of afternoon tea. In Sweden pastries in general (for example cinnamon buns) are often referred to as ''fikabröd'' ("fika bread").
==Etymology==
The word "fika" is an example of the back slang used in the 19th century, in which syllables of a word were reversed, deriving ''fika'' from ''kaffi'', an earlier variant of the Swedish word ''kaffe'' ("coffee").〔Holm, Pelle (1939). Bevingade ord. ISBN 91-34-50877-5〕 From ''fika'' also comes the word ''fik'' (a colloquial term for "café") through a process of back-formation.
