Hyggelig: The Danish Word for Feeling Pleasant With the Warmth, Coziness and Friendship
A warm feeling at such a period that we are at the door of dark winter nights
This concept may be exactly what I need right now, after writing, of course. Writing is always on the top.
In general, I love to make my home cozy, warm, and welcoming. I’m a home person. I can entertain myself even for days without getting out. I’ve proved this in the lockdowm time during pandemic. When we couldn't leave the home for two months, still we were able to live happily at home as a family. I never got bored myself or never let my family get bored. In addition, I managed to write a book during this time.
Denmark suggests a very nice concept suitable for having a good time in interiors.
Hyggelig
Hyggelig is an adjective form of the Danish word Hygge. In other words, it is the state of feeling joy as a result of warm and friendly environments and friendships.
Hygge has also evolved into a marketing tool. When winter arrives and the sun becomes less visible, everyone begins to look for hygge-related books or objects to make themselves happy. Aside from the fact that it is a marketing activity, the concept is really sympathetic.
The Danes say that there are two significant things about Hygge. First, we cannot be hyggelig simply by being in a cozy environment. A human touch, friendship, and sociability are also required.
Second, pastries, which are already well-known symbol of Denmark, are included in the hyggelig concept.
Knowing that winter is approaching, it is a good time to consider Hygge in this autumn period when we still struggle to stay in the summer days. Thank you very much, our Nordic friends for such a warm concept. We appreciate it.
