I've been a member for a couple of months now, and wanted to say what a nice bunch you lot are, as well as being very knowlegable on all matters genealogical.
As for what "hyggeligt" means, heres Wikipedia's take on it, with a few snoopysue corrections:
"Hygge" is a word that apparently only available in Danish and Norwegian and is strongly associated with the Danish national character. "Hygge" (comfort) as a noun includes both a feeling, an atmosphere and an action. The word is also used in compounds, eg Christmas (hygge) atmosphere. Furthermore, it exists as a verb, eg "Come, let us (hygge) enjoy ourselves!". And as adjective, eg "A (hyggeligt) cosy house with." Although cosy doesn't quite cut it for me, it's more about an atmosphere or feeling that's nice´, cosy's more small scale like a mug of hot chocolate in front of the fire, whereas hyggeligt can be small or large scale.
Anyway what I'm trying to say is you lot are a good bunch, and always cheerful, there's none of that telling people off you see on other forums (and if there occaisionally is then it's done in a good natured way). So thanks.
