“They were cosy and comfortable in their little house made of logs,
with the snow drifted around it and the wind crying because it
could not get in by the fire.” Laura Ingalls Wilder, Little House in the Big Woods
The word cozy (or cosy in British English) probably comes from Norwegian, one of the Scandinavian languages. It means comfortable, comfy or friendly. It is usually used as an adjective, but there is a verb usage as well. The Turkish equivalent of the word “cozy” is “ev gibi“, “rahat“, “kuytu“, “sıcacık“.
Here are some examples:
- Their office was small and cozy.
- Our little house was snug and cozy.
- We had a cozy chat.
- I cozied Mary tenderly.
- Have a cozy day!
