According to the 2018 World Happiness Report, Denmark(丹麥）ranked (排名）No.3! And it’s not surprising at all! In 2016, Denmark ranked No.l , then No.2 in 2017. In fact, Denmark has been on the list for many years. Why? Because people who live in Denmark know the secret to happiness— “hygge”. But what is “hygge”？

The Danish(丹麥的）word “hygge” (pronounced “hoo-ga”）is often translated in English as “coziness”. But “hygge” is more than that. It's also about spending peaceful time in a quiet environment with no calendar. It’s about spending time alone or spending time with family.

Danish people are very good at “hygge”. For example, they create a “ hygge” environment by burning candles in classrooms, kitchens, bedrooms, etc. According to some reports, Danish people bum more candles every year than people from any other European country.

However, “hygge” isn’t just about creating a nice and warm environment; it is best enjoyed with family members and friends. With up to 17 hours of darkness every day in winter, Danish people spend more time indoors as a result, and they often get together for a meal or hot drinks, without the distraction(使人分心的事物）of technology or the stress of daily life.

Still can’t understand what “hygge” is? If you’re reading this in a comfortable chair, with a few candles around you, that sense of coziness you're feeling might just be “hygge”.
