couch
A couch is a piece of furniture where people can sit or lie down.
You'll often see a couch in the living room of a house, where family and friends like to relax together. It's usually big and comfortable, with cushions on it that you can sink into. Sometimes it has arms on either side, and sometimes it's just one long seat without any arms at all. People will curl up on the couch with a book or their phone, watch TV, or even take a nap. It's like a cozy spot where everyone feels welcome to hang out.
