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.
What characterises the Danes as a people? Many non-Danes living in Denmark suggest that the Danes are open and welcoming. Others may call them reserved, especially during the long winter months. For many Danes, the word hygge is essential when describing something uniquely Danish. The word is best translated into English as âcozinessâ or âconvivialityâ and reflects the sense of community and sense of security which comes about when Danes spend quality time with people they care about.
