Aqui está uma das outras palavras finalistas que concorreram a Palavra do Ano 2016 do Dicionário Oxford, e definição:
Hygge = substantivo incontável que denota uma qualidade de convivência aconchegante e confortável que gera um sentimento de satisfação ou bem-estar (considerada uma característica definidora da cultura dinamarquesa).
Exemplos:
Just as “chic” is the thing that everyone knows about the French, the word hygge must now be affixed, almost by law, to any media story about Denmark or, indeed, anything remotely Scandinavian, whether the subject is clothes, furniture, cookery, travel, or working hours. - The Guardian
Hygge, when depicted in pictures (and it always is), features a crackling fire, knitted socks, steaming beverages cupped in hands, groups of laughing friends or family members gathered around a table that’s groaning with hearty fare, and the omnipresent soft pools of candlelight to set the mood. - TreeHugger
There are also hygge watches, hygge hammocks, hygge colouring books and, in something of an irony bypass, hygge phone covers. A college in London has even started teaching its students how to hygge. - The Irish Times
