About This Quote

To describe something as “pure hygge” is to say that it is perfect. It also means that it is a very Danish concept, of which there are few in the English language. It is not possible to translate “hygge” into any other language. Rather it is a concept, shared by its Danish owners but understood only by them. The essence of hygge is to create a relaxed atmosphere where people can laugh easily and enjoy time together.
