Fridfull

Fridfull is an adjective used in Swedish and, less commonly, in Norwegian, to denote a state of peace, calm, or serenity. In English, it is typically translated as peaceful or tranquil.

Etymology: The term combines frid, meaning peace, with full, meaning full of, a common Germanic construction. In Swedish, fridfull is attested, with fridfullt as the adverbial form. Its usage is more common in literary or descriptive writing than in everyday speech, though it remains understood by speakers of Swedish and Norwegian varieties.

Usage: In Swedish, fridfull is used in phrases such as en fridfull natt or ett fridfullt landskap to describe calm landscapes, moments, or atmospheres. It can describe rooms, towns, or seasons with a sense of quiet. In Norwegian, fredelig is more common, but fridfull may appear in poetic or older texts.
