Description
Why do the Nordic countries seem to approach life differently? Across the North, certain words describe ideas that have no direct translation in English — concepts shaped by harsh winters, powerful landscapes, and societies built on trust and cooperation. In Nordic Words , Ingrid Hanssøn explores nineteen fascinating cultural concepts including hygge, sisu, friluftsliv, lagom, fika , and sila . Each word reveals a different way of understanding happiness, resilience, balance, and community. Through storytelling and cultural insight, this book offers a journey across Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, the Faroe Islands, and Greenland — showing how language reflects the deeper philosophy of the Nordic world. Sometimes understanding a culture begins with learning its words.
