A Danish word (pronounced HU-guh) meaning social coziness. I.e. the feeling of a good social atmosphere.

Pronounced hoo-gah. A Danish word that describes a situation in which people feel content and relaxed. Hygge usually suggest an informal, pleasant sit-down with friends, a relaxing stroll, etc. The term isn't normally used to describe intense activities or ones that rely on materialistic things.

The fact that hygge does not have a proper translation to almost any language, is often taken to suggest that it's a deep and unique part of Danish culture, that foreigners find hard to grasp.

This is a Danish word with no direct translation, but it seems to mean something like that feeling when there are a few of you in a room playing board games at Christmas. It's a sort of combination of coziness and companionship and happiness and warmth, and it would be a lovely word to get into English.

It's a Danish idea which means to be happy and feel cozy during the winter. Also known as the Art of Happiness.
Pronounce it like "hoo-ga".
