The difference is subtle but important. While both sanitation and hygiene are related, we must be taught both effective tools and effective behaviors to protect our health. Imagine how important these can be in places without a toilet or where hand washing has never been learned!
Hygge â pronounced, variously, as hyue-gar, hoog-jar but most commonly hoo-gah â broadly means an approach to living that embraces positivity and enjoyment of everyday experiences, said to be core concepts of attitudes to life in the Nordic region.
Family get-togethers at Christmas. They're all hygge too. The Danish word, pronounced hoo-ga, is usually translated into English as cosiness. But it's much more than that, say its aficionados-an entire attitude to life that helps Denmark to vie with Switzerland and Iceland to be the world's happiest country. Morley College, in central London, is teaching students how to achieve hygge as part of its Danish language course.
