When studying Danish, one of the first words you’ll learn is “hygge.” It loosely translates to “coziness,” but many Danes will tell you that meaning is a bit too literal and restrictive. It’s a word that is so emblematic of the Danish culture that it doesn’t have a perfect English equivalent. I spent the fall of 2012 living in Copenhagen, where I was exposed to the cozy candlelit cafes with big blankets and zero sense of urgency before that aura of comfort became “cool.” Back in the U.S., we hibernate, cancel plans, and bring out the big blankets, but we don’t necessarily embrace and relish in the change of season like those in dark, cold Nordic countries. That is, until recently.
