Hygge
Pronounced hoo-gah. A Danish word that describes a situation in which people feel content and relaxed. Hygge usually suggest an informal, pleasant sit-down with friends, a relaxing stroll, etc. The term isn't normally used to describe intense activities or ones that rely on materialistic things.
The fact that hygge does not have a proper translation to almost any language, is often taken to suggest that it's a deep and unique part of Danish culture, that foreigners find hard to grasp.
