ømfintlig

Ømfintlig is a Norwegian adjective that translates to "sensitive" or "tender" in English. It is often used to describe someone or something that is easily affected by emotions, experiences, or external stimuli. The term can be applied to both people and objects, such as a sensitive plant or a tender heart.

In the context of people, being ømfintlig can mean being easily moved to tears, having a strong sense of empathy, or being particularly affected by certain emotions or situations. It can also refer to a person who is delicate or frail in their physical or mental state.

The adjective is derived from the noun ømfint, which refers to a sensitive or tender person. The term is commonly used in Norwegian language and culture to describe individuals who possess a heightened sensitivity or tenderness.

Ømfintlig should not be confused with the English word "emotional," as it carries a slightly different nuance. While both terms can describe someone who is easily affected by emotions, ømfintlig often implies a deeper, more profound sensitivity that can be both a strength and a challenge.
