snuggle

German
Persian
Russian
Spanish

A snuggle is when two people or even an animal and a person get close together, often warmly and lovingly. This can happen on a couch, bed, or even outside.

Snuggling is one of those actions that's easy to do, but hard to explain because it's such a personal thing! When we think about snuggling, we usually imagine two people who care for each other getting close in a way that feels cozy and comfortable. Maybe they're watching a movie together, holding hands, or even just cuddling under a blanket. Sometimes adults will snuggle with their pets, like cats or dogs, which can be really sweet. It's all about feeling connected to someone else and enjoying the warmth of each other's presence.
