Definition
温馨 (wēn xīn) describes an atmosphere, environment, or gesture that is both warm and cozy and emotionally heartwarming — it's about a pleasant, affectionate feeling. It is more specific than 温暖 (wēn nuǎn, 'warm'), which can be purely physical, and more emotional than 暖烘烘 (nuǎn hōng hōng, 'pleasantly warm'), which focuses on physical coziness.
