意味
There is no place like home.
文化的背景
The 'Arne' was historically the tax-basis for a house. If you had an 'arne', you were a head of household. This gives the phrase a sense of pride and ownership. In all Nordic countries, the home is a refuge from the harsh climate. This proverb is a shared cultural value across Sweden and Norway too (though the words differ slightly). Even in modern apartments in Copenhagen, people use this phrase to justify 'staying in'—a practice sometimes called 'nesting'. The proverb is often found on traditional cross-stitch wall hangings (klokkestreng) in older Danish homes.
Use it for Hygge
If you want to sound like a local when posting a photo of your cozy living room, use this phrase instead of just 'hygge'.
Gender Agreement
Remember 'arne' is common gender. Don't say 'eget arne'!

The 'Arne' is dead, long live the 'Arne'
Nobody uses the word 'arne' for a fireplace anymore in conversation. Only use it in this proverb.
Short version
You can just say 'Hjemme bedst' if you want to be more modern and brief.

よくある質問
5 問No, modern Danes use 'pejs' or 'brændeovn'. 'Arne' is only used in this proverb or as a name.
Not really. It's specifically for the home and the feeling of domestic security.
In the proverb, we don't use the article. It's just 'Egen arne er bedst'.
It's a bit traditional/formal, but very common in casual speech as a set phrase.
It doesn't matter! The 'arne' is a metaphor for the home itself.
