So how do you pronounce “Hygge” then ?
I’m curious :)

As a Scandinavian (Dane ??) myself I appreciate that the devs focused a bit on our style of living as I have suggested last year in the forum.
I think the devs really captured the spirit of modern Scandinavian home fashion.
But the devs do not really pronounce “hygge” correctly LOL but that doesn’t matter. They do understand the point with it so that’s good. :D
Well thanks for asking. It’s difficult to explain as the English language doesn’t have the sounds for “y” and “e”:
Imagine a combination of sounds of “u” and “e” in one sound. That would almost be like our “y”.
Our “e” sounds a bit like a “r” (but only the r-sound used in the end of a word like “lawyer” or “sommer” not the “r” in for instance “rose” og “rage”).
So if you say “huegr” it would be a bit more correct but still not entirely LOL. It makes sense that the devs couldn’t pronounce it. The Danish language are extremely difficult to speak.
This is what comes closest of what I could find on google (The second voice, the female US-voice - But say it a bit faster and then you are basically there): https://www.google.dk/amp/s/dictionary.cambridge.org/amp/pronunciation/english/hygge
If there's no English equivalent to the sound then I can't blame them pronouncing it wrong lol ?
