haimish

[elainegrey]

Today in my NYTimes reading, twice, the word "haimish," which i don't recall ever seeing before.

From Wikipedia: Haimish (also Heimish): Home-like, friendly, folksy (Yiddish היימיש heymish, cf. German heimisch)

Looks like hygge is both Norwegian and Danish. Thanks for an introduction to Biedermeier!
