Pyt: curiosities

  • The power of 'pyt' had changed the atmosphere from potentially bleak to one of relief
  • 'Pyt' was chosen as the nation's favourite word, which is a reflection of Danes' desire to take it easy and relax.
  • Children at kindergarten and primary school use the word to diffuse a tense situation
  • Visitors to Denmark can buy their own version of the ‘pyt’ button
  • These red-and-white plastic buttons resemble the ones that contestants in TV game shows press when they have the right answer
  • Press it and you’ll hear the word “pyt,” reminding you to step back from the situation and refocus.
