hygge
http://www.bbc.co.uk/languages/communit
Let's get hygge
Danish people are very proud of the word hygge which is both unpronounceable by other speakers and untranslatable into other languages and apparently sums up all Danish-ness.
It means 'comfortable' in a social sense. Think of you and loved ones snuggling up in front of a fire when it's snowing inside. That's very hygge!
...If it weren't for the fact that it's unpronouncaeable by native speakers, I'd be all about assimilating this word.
