The laziness one feels after warming oneself in the sun on cold days.

Hunsrik – 3,000,000 speakers – Brazil (mainly Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul)

The Hunsrik word kwadi derives from Portuguese quati, which comes from Tupi akwa'tim, meaning "long nose". In Portuguese, the word refers to animals of the genera Nasua and Nasuella, which like to warm themselves for a long time in the sun.
