- A lot of people get the meaning of Danish word hygge WRONG.. in this video I will tell you what hygge is & what it ACTUALLY means! Is hygge the key to hapiness? When do we use the word HYGGE in Danish language? Can you hygge during summer? When do Danes say hygge? Is hygge an lifestyle, Danish philosophy or mentality? Was hygge actually invented in Denmark or is that only a MISCONCEPTION?! Plus my thoughts on 'The little book of Hygge' and Mike Wiking's definition of hygge being an art of creating nice atmosphere.

Hi! My name is Kaja. I work as a Creative Strategist by day and make RUclips videos by night ;D I grew up between Poland and Denmark, and for the past couple of years I have been living in Copenhagen, Shanghai, Bangkok, Paris and Warsaw, making videos about my travels, daily life & fashion.

What is your favorite type of HYGGE ? :)
A nice drink with friends 🥰
Måske om lyse? I used to live in huset and when it sni i vinter, the light in house made me feel hygge. 上海不下雪，咱中国人比较勤劳。

I’m here coz I am trying to find what hygge means, absolutely this video helped the research. Thank you 🙏
I’m glad to hear that! :)
@@KajaKubicka here’s my video about hygge, I want to know what do you think or if I missed something or said something that I shouldn’t said, anything, kindly let me know, thank you ➡️ link ruclips.net/video/ZI7uEn7Oyvk/видео.html
I really enjoted this video - I like how your angles and how you edit. About Hygge I forgot this existed until I saw this video. I like the 'we're chillin' translation. I also like thinking of Hygge as something luxurious. Will def start trying do more Hygge'n! Thank you. I enjoy your content🤍
I would have liked to have heard more from your hygge expert 😀 "The Little Book of Hygge" definitely started a publishing trend! I was in a bookstore before the pandemic and realized they had a display of 10+ books on hygge, lakom (Swedish), ikigai (Japanese), and similar topics. My favorite title was "Päntsdrunk" on the Finnish "art" of relaxing by drinking alone, at home, in your underwear; although this may not have been entirely serious…
i know this is so much later but kalsarikännit is definitely a thing, even if we finns make fun of it :D i do it all the time, like watching a movie and getting a little wine drunk.
Fantastic video. I have just come back from a very grey Copenhagen. It was incredibly misty on Saturday and I have never seen so much city mist. I don't know how often it is that bad, but Copenhagen was still wonderful and it was great to see all of the clips of places that I recognised in your video. What I do know is that Denmark seems so organised and smooth compared to how things are in the UK. And the Danish people are so wonderfully helpful and polite.
This video was very helpful! I discovered hygge as a 'concept', 'philosophy', 'lifestyle' several years ago.
After watching your video, I realize there is no striving involved. I think us Americans like to live fast and strive for things. So of course we would strive for hygge! Lots of people have made money off of the concept and still are. Which I agree is brilliant! 😂
It is funny, after watching I realize I and most people I know hygge without realizing. Like you said, we just use different words to describe it.
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
You totally explained Hygge thank you for sharing and happy new year 2022 🎉
Definitely learned some new valuable lessons here thank you. It makes sense that it comes with a sense of financial ease & security also. Super informative thank you so much.
Very thoughtful sharing of the meaning of this word.
i find this so interesting because I can parallel it a little to when english speakers use 'wholesome' to describe certain enjoyable moments/foods/interactions - my german speaking friends told me there's not a succinct translation for wholesome, and obviously that goes both directions when terms they have don't translate well to english
Jeg synes du forklarte hygge konsepten veldig bra! Hilsen fra Norge
Love your pink shirt! It's so flattering on you!
Thanks for your explanation! Besides for those wonderful sights of Denmak.
Thanks so much for this video!
Thanks for your insight on Hygge!
Thank you for your good explanation
I love the phrase “det var hyggeligt at se dig” it was easy to understand as someone learning dansk ~
Thank you very much for your clear explanation of hygge!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video!
Thank you!
Thank you for this video
I think cats are NATURALLY ALWAYS in a state of Hygge!!!
maybe cats love to hygge with sleep so when you see a cat sleep on a rug so like it part of hygge for cats
Love your videos :)
Thank you
As a Swede I was pretty confuse when I first heard about "hygge", I didn't get it, because we do it here but just call it "to coze", or "to chill/relax". But we do use the word: "hyggligt", but we don't say it like "huga". Thank you for your video, makes so much more sence, it's like having a "hygglig" or "trevlig" (nice) time. My husband who is from Skåne told me that it's something else in the atmosphere in Denmark though, we swedes are more stressed Still.
After reading few books on Hygge and watching videos about it, I will not lose myself in providing or finding correct definition. Instead, what you explained it here, I found out that I was doing it from a very long time.
Enjoying simple things, like having tea alone at night, eating a quiet lunch, walking while listening music, writing something, talking with my family, curling in blanket and reading book
these all things makes my mind relax, and I feel peaceful. When I find stress in life these few things make me peaceful. But recently since I married, my hygge is seen as something nasty. I am accused of wasting time and being lazy or careless, I am constantly attacked on my hygge and this breaks my heart and I feel mad that this simple concept is not understood.
People who read this completely thank you for bearing this. Anyone can go on and burn themselves in earning money or simply talking thinking non stop about less material things in life. But this hygge can do one thing- balance your brain in this crazy world.
Your absolutely right. HYGGE means anything that makes you feel good. Like drinking tee alone, or being with people. The word basically means "i feel good inside, while i do something i enjoy whenever its with or without others. What im doing/ did, i have/had a good time with" - Sincerely a Dane.
Ist this love?
interesting point of view!
Just found this video and omg THAT's a good explanation. Most of internet things are consumism bullshit: buy this kind of furniture to enjoy a hyggeligt time, have this tea and whatever
thanks for teaching us about hygge! My takeaway is hygge = good vibes
not really good vibes. good vibes are like speak good with your friends or good vibes when you hang out with your friends
Hygge could also be described as living in the present moment / living in the now. And appreciating a moment fully.
In certain countries, stress is a lifestyle. Anxiety is the norm. When everybody around you is stressed and anxious, you don't even notice the constant noise. Or the constant criticism.
For me, hygge is turning off the noise and appreciating a moment. Sometimes this means noticing the way light falls on a corner of your home. Or appreciating a bite of food. Or holding your pet and feeling the softness of fur.
Whatever sensations that you normally can't get in touch with when your head is cluttered with fear and stress.
I'm sure that as you've said - the social security in Denmark is a big part of why Danes are able to feel those present moments more fully.
I've felt this the most in the Caribbean though. Languid, enjoyable moments.
In the U.S., whole cities are stuck in 24/7 anxiety mode. Anxiety is our philosophy - our lifestyle - our norm. It can feel suffocating.
-from American whose father is Danish and stepmother is Polish. They live in Denmark, I grew up in the U.S.
Yelling at your UBER driver is ALSO Hygge; so long as you enjoy the moment, it's totally Hygge.
Got it. That explains why my danish friend go to fake beach along Huangpu River in Shanghai in summer..
You should post a bunch of polls
Wow denmark has a good balance and it's surrounding countrys
In Dutch we have the word "gezellig" it's almost identical
Wow amazing I like video 😻
😊🙏🏼
Just found Hygge-RUclips! I had no idea about it. But, it’s already my nature. Like, show me the native Hygge people-NOT the Yankee Doodle American accents talking about it-yep, I’m American. 😂🤷🏽♂️. Your video and accent was nice to listen to.
Najlepsze wytłumaczenie czym jest HYGGE. 🥰
dziękuje! :)
Thank you. Did the Hygge expert purr??? Have a wonderful day.
no -_-
My second time hitting a like on videos
awww thank you! 🥰
So, would it be valid to say that "just vibing" qualifies as hygge? 😂
This comment wins 😂😂🤍
I would say it’s more a sense of contentment.
💛
I came across hygge being a form of Paganism so I stepped away from it because I have recently walked away from that chapter of my life. I'm so glad I decided to look again. It has a lot of similarities but I felt in my heart it wasn't a form of "worship" so I'm so glad I found this video. I'm from the states so just being is not our normal. I'm trying to learn to be still and spend more time with loved ones.... Hygge is just that spending time with loved ones, yourself while doing what brings you JOY. That joy is different for everyone. Great breakdown of what hygge really is. 💜
Hi and Hello from India
May Lord Jesus Bless you
Nice video. I think hygge means more or less the same as the dutch word 'gezellig'.
Hygge = fun.
In Dutch "gezellig" i dit not know Denmark had it too
i like your video,but i always concentrate your adorable miaomiao ,she is so cute!
hahah
W połowie filmu zobaczyłem, że pani jest polką 🫣
Maybe my favorite HYGGE it's drink coffee with milk and come up with something like games or some program or something else like a new method of learning foreign languages and ect. I boring person.
that is definitely hygge!!.
milky drikk(cocoa/coffee/horlicks) plus some board games with friends.that's the spirit.
with nice fluffy futon sets and a quilt (and preferably a cat)
hygge is a lot more then it
Maby,ENGAWA in Japan.
I think.
It ’s an old story, it ’s not now.
largely.
Your cat is totally hygge.
haha,depends on the cat😃
super chilled and snuggly ones,definitely. Super nocturnal ones that attack your feet at 4am not so much🙂
yes cats is alot hygge but det alot more then only a cat
Must be nice :) to have basic needs met lol
it's funny when the world tries to market a word that you can't actually even translate fully. it's just it's own thing and it's funny seeing the world go coo coo over it😄
60% tax would not make me happy. 🤣
Pronounced "hue-geh"
Hygge is a marijuana brand for sale in America 😂
Hygge er "cosiness", at få kaffe og wienerbrød er hygge, at gå i skoven kan være hygge. Undskyld jeg snakker lille smule Dansk så det er ikke særlig godt.
kind but you can do a lot with hygge not only one thing
im danish person and whole my life raised in denmark
@@xxjulia0xx341 jeg Forstår det, men jeg kom bare med et eksempel
Your accent does not sound Danish and the way you say it is not how Danes say it...
I’m Polish :)
you have right
You talk too much!
