草窝 (cǎo wō) — grass nest (literal nest made of grass); humble dwelling; shabby home (figurative)

Définition

A 草窝 is literally a 'grass nest' (where birds nest), and figuratively a humble, shabby home. The image of a crude grass nest carries a self-deprecating warmth — used to talk about one's own modest dwelling with affection, not pity.
