Monday word: koselig

[ersatz-read.livejournal.com]

koselig (kush-lee), noun

An intimate sense of warmth, security, and happiness.

That's a rough translation.  This is a Norwegian word; the closest English parallel appears to be 'cozy'.
A search will provide many links to descriptions of the feeling.  Rather than use one of those, I just posted a pic of my cats.
Another example might have been Saturday's pleasant gathering with close friends:  it was cold and rainy outside, but inside we had boardgaming, good conversation, and indulgent cooking.

It's a good seasonal word to know.

What a fun word :) There are such interesting words in Scandinavian languages.

And your kitties are adorable :)
