Koselig could be translated to Dutch too! We call it ‘gezellig’ and it describes the exact same feelings as you did in your article 🙂

Nice article with some good examples! Just a tiny grammar thing: ‘koselig’ isn’t a noun, it’s an adjective.

In reply to Arthur Egil Olsen. I love Norway. Keep a postcard of Lillihamer on my fridge. Warmly wear my sweater bought in Bergen in the winter. Have many other memories & photos. Did not enjoy the "alpine" type skiing tho. Too icy. Can I come back÷).

A much needed explanation. One word translation cannot suffice for this whole concept/phenomenon/feeling of koselig 😁

I love Norway! You need to add a picture of a "kose katt" (a Norwegian cat would be best!, like this one: http://www.petmd.com/sites/default/files/breedopedia/norwegian%20elwin%20and%20felix.jpg)

A French blogger living in Norway whom I love to read, because it is always fun to see your own culture through someone else's life, wrote a blog post similiar to this: http://afroginthefjord.com/2014/02/02/how-to-make-things-koselig/ In it she ended up explaining "koselig" sort of like something that gives you a warm feeling inside, she used the term "inner summer". I thought it was a cute, heart-warming (and koselig!) explanation. (Here is her actual sentence: "It is like an inner summer that Norwegians create for themselves to feel like it’s warm all year long no matter the circumstances.") I recommend her blog, if you like to read others commenting on the quirkiness of our Norwegian ways.

I like to see things about Norway a place where I have family. They I have only met on line. Some are Norway. Songne as well as Kristiansund. It is good to see pictures of Norway.
