WHAT IS HYGGE? //
Hygge (pronounced hue-guh not hoo-gah) is a Danish word used when acknowledging a feeling or moment, whether alone or with friends, at home or out, ordinary or extraordinary as cosy, charming or special. Hygge (or to be “hyggeligt”) doesn't require learning “how-to”, adopting it as a lifestyle or buying anything.
While there’s no one English word or simple definition to describe hygge, several can be used interchangeably to describe the idea of hygge such as cosiness, charm, happiness, ‘contentness’, security, familiarity, comfort, reassurance, kinship, and simpleness.
If you've ever enjoyed reading a book indoors on a rainy Sunday or a cup of hot coco a on a snow day, you've experienced hygge without even knowing it. Hygge is such an important part of being Danish that it is considered "a defining feature of our cultural identity and an integral part of the national DNA," according to Meik Wiking, the CEO of the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen.
FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE LITTLE BOOK OF HYGGE //
“You cannot buy the right atmosphere or a sense of togetherness. You cannot hygge if you are in a hurry or stressed out, and the art of creating intimacy cannot be bought by anything but time, interest and engagement in the people around you.”

Greetings from Denmark 👋🏼🇩🇰
I just wanted to say, that I love your video. It sums up the concept of “Hygge” perfectly. I’m happy, that the concept is useful and spreading to other countries 😃
Best regards
Ann from Denmark 🇩🇰
ANN! YOU JUST MADE MY WEEK, MY MONTH, MY YEAR! (Sorry for yelling) Thank you so much for this comment I truly appreciate it. I cannot wait until the world has healed and I can make the trip to Denmark for real. Much love from Canada!
Advice from a Dane.
Hygge is not something you can or should force, then it doesn't work.
There is no right way to hygge.
It is what you yourself find "hyggeligt".
Chips & cola and a movie (original Netflix and chill) is one way for me.
Reading while snuggling a comforter, another.
Or putting my feet up while at the computer, and enjoying a mug of coffee.
Or a relaxed get together with a small group of friends.
It seems to often include hot or cold drinks, and an intimate but relaxed atmosphere.
It's all about finding out what you really like, and you doing you.
Other peoples opinions on what hygge is, are just suggestions you can try out, if you don't already know what does it for you.
The only way of doing it wrong, is if you aren't relaxed and enjoying yourself while doing it.
Thank you so much for writing such a well thought comment! We all truly appreciate the advice! :)
This is a really good video. A lot of ppl suffer from Seasonal Depression Syndrome. Had no idea about this concept. We Canadians can learn a lot from the Danes 🇨🇦🇩🇰
Agree! I know I took so much from this simply through the research ☺️ Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the very practical and sensible contribution!Lots of day-to-day advice.
My sis from England sent me scented candles for my birthday. Awww!! LOVE them. I lit one today, created a beautiful corner in my hall.
Aw that is such a lovely gift! I love those kinds of gifts because I'm sure you think of her when you light it! Like a little inner spark too 🥰🥰
Hygge is such a beautiful way of looking at life... - Northern BC
I love it! I think this has helped me so much think about how to handle winter! Northern B.C. would be so similar to Snowy Denmark!
Greetings,first time on your channel. I lived in Canada for 6 years and loved it. Due to a change of job Iam back to the US. This 2020 I-have learned to focus on the simple living and loving it. Hygge love the concept on trying to live the concept. Thank you. Blessings for 2021.
Happy to have you here! Also I am so glad to hear you loved living in Canada. That makes me proud :)
Well done! I'm Danish-Canadian raised on hygge :) It's a little funny, but for me - hygge was always understood but never really defined- you just know it. It's like trying to describe a feeling. Most Danes associate it with a small relaxed gathering of friends/family. I love that more people are getting it. Subscribing :)
Hi Britt!! Totally got that feeling after reading the book. I love that hygge can be the smallest little gathering with friends to reading a book cozied up with a storm outside. It's truly inspiring how the Danes live and just realize a good moment. Thank you so much for watching and joining my little cozy nook of the internet!
Did you know that regular white and coloured candles are toxic.? Only Beeswax candles purify the air.
Goid to know
I loved that book and that you visually brought it to life! Have a hygge year! ❤️😊
Aw I love this comment! Thank you Kim! Hygge has really helped me get through this season with everything happening around the world. Sending you some love!
If you review that page you showed that describes how to pronounce hygge, it says to pronounce the first syllable "hue" (as in hue and color). Though, I've never heard anyone from Denmark pronounce it that way. It's really more like the vowel sound in "spooky" and the vowel sound in "tweet". Maybe more towards the "oo" than the "ee". Yeah, I know! LOL English doesn't really have vowels like that. The Nordic languages can be similar in that way to German. However one pronounces it, I live on the American side of Lake Ontario. ie long cold snowy Winters. Hygge is the way I've gotten through the last couple of Winters and am embracing it this year too! Cheers!
Thanks for going so in depth on this one! Appreciate it!
Another great new video update, Amanda!❤️
Thank you!
You're Welcome!
I love the painted wall so pretty is there a video how you did it .
Aw thank you so much Angela! I love that wall! It's actually a big mural wall peel and stick wallpaper! It's made such a huge difference in the room. Here is a link to exactly how I did it :) (th-cam.com/video/rtIZIuoUkQQ/w-d-xo.html) Have the best day!

Good video, audio is very muffled, thank you
