Danish Words That Make You Smile (and Snuggle)
Some words just feel good to say and Danish is full of them! From warm and fuzzy feelings to playful sounds, kids love learning words that bring smiles (and sometimes even snuggles!).
What’s “Hygge” and Why Kids Love It
One of Denmark’s most famous words is hygge (pronounced “hoo-gah”), which means cozy comfort—like cuddling up with a book or sharing hot chocolate. It’s a feeling kids already love and now they can learn the word for it!
Happy Words with Fun Sounds
Danish has words that sound like fun when you say them:
- kram – hug
- grine – to laugh
- is – ice cream
- kat – cat
- ven – friend
They’re easy to say and perfect for everyday use.
