På en kølig høstaften i København kiggede Lars på sin ven Sofie.

On a cool autumn evening in Copenhagen, Lars looked at his friend Sofie.

Sofie var fra Australien.

Sofie was from Australia.

Hun var forvirret.

She was confused.

Hun kunne ikke forstå ordet 'hygge'.

She couldn't understand the word 'hygge'.

Lars besluttede sig for at lære hende det.

Lars decided to teach her about it.

Først tog de begge på café.

First, they both went to a café.

Caféen var hyggelig.

The café was cozy.

Der var tændte lys.

There were lit candles.

De sad ved et lille bord.

They sat at a small table.

De drak varm kakao.

They drank hot cocoa.

De spiste også kanelsnegle.

They also ate cinnamon rolls.

"Er dette hygge?

"Is this hygge?"

" spurgte Sofie.

Sofie asked.

"Ja, men det er kun en del af det," svarede Lars.

"Yes, but it's just a part of it," Lars replied.

Derefter gik de en tur.

Then they took a walk.

Gaderne var stille.

The streets were quiet.

Gule blade faldt fra træerne.

Yellow leaves were falling from the trees.

De kunne se Vor Frelsers Kirke i det fjerne.

They could see Our Savior's Church in the distance.

Der var også duften af nybagt brød.

There was also the smell of freshly baked bread.

"Er dette hygge?

"Is this hygge?"

" spurgte Sofie igen.

Sofie asked again.

"Ja, men der er mere," sagde Lars med et smil.

"Yes, but there's more to it," Lars said with a smile.

Til sidst tog Lars hende hjem til sig.

Finally, Lars took her to his home.

Hans lejlighed var varm og indbydende.

His apartment was warm and welcoming.

Der var bløde tæpper.

There were soft blankets.

Der var også levende lys.

There were also lit candles.

Han lavede en gryderet.

He made a stew.

De spiste og snakkede sammen.

They ate and talked together.

Udenfor kunne de høre vinden hviske.

Outside, they could hear the wind whispering.

"Er dette hygge?

"Is this hygge?"

" spurgte Sofie for sidste gang.

Sofie asked for the last time.

"Ja," svarede Lars, "dette er hygge.

"Yes," Lars replied, "this is hygge."

" Sofie nikkede.

Sofie nodded.

Hun smilede bredt.

She smiled widely.

Hun forstod endelig, hvad hygge var.

She finally understood what hygge was.

Det var ikke kun om at være varm og behagelig.

It wasn't just about being warm and cozy.

Det var også om at være sammen med andre.

It was also about being together with others.

At føle sig tryg og glad.

To feel safe and happy.

Herefter var Sofie ikke længere forvirret.

After that, Sofie was no longer confused.

Hun kunne nu forstå og opleve 'hygge'.

She could now understand and experience 'hygge'.

Og sådan endte Lars' mission med succes.

And that's how Lars' mission ended successfully.

Han havde formået at forklare begrebet 'hygge' til Sofie.

He had managed to explain the concept of 'hygge' to Sofie.

Og de fortsatte med at dele mange flere hyggelige øjeblikke i København.

And they continued to share many more cozy moments in Copenhagen.

Historien slutter her.

The story ends here.

Men husk, 'hygge' er overalt.

But remember, 'hygge' is everywhere.

Man skal bare mærke det.

You just have to feel it.
