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.
But Danes insist hygge is unique. The blogger Anna Lea West, has offered cosiness of the soul as an English definition. Hygge was never meant to be translated. It was meant to be felt, translator ToveMaren Stakkestad has written. Maybe the only way to understand this slippery cultural idea is to visit Denmark, rather than read about it.
