følelsesmessig

følelsesmessig is a Norwegian adjective that translates to "emotional" in English. It describes something that pertains to or is characterized by emotions. The word can be used in various contexts to indicate a connection to feelings, sentiments, or the inner emotional state of a person or situation.

For example, a "følelsesmessig støtte" refers to emotional support, which involves providing comfort, understanding, and encouragement to someone. A "følelsesmessig reaksjon" is an emotional reaction, meaning a response driven by feelings rather than purely rational thought. When discussing relationships, "følelsesmessig tilknytning" signifies an emotional attachment or bond.

The adjective can also describe something that is not purely logical or objective, but rather influenced by feelings. For instance, a "følelsesmessig beslutning" might be one made based on personal feelings, intuition, or desires, as opposed to a strictly rational analysis. It highlights the subjective and personal nature of an experience or action. The term is fundamental to understanding human psychology and social interactions in Norwegian discourse.
