معنی
To be financially secure or comfortable.
زمینه فرهنگی
Dutch people value 'gezelligheid' (coziness). Being 'warmpjes' is the financial version of gezelligheid—it's about security and comfort at home. Due to Calvinist roots, Dutch people often hide their wealth. This idiom is a 'safe' way to acknowledge wealth without being flashy. With rising energy costs, this phrase is sometimes used literally or ironically in news headlines about heating houses.
Use the split
Remember that 'er' and 'bij' like to move. 'Hij zit er ALTIJD warmpjes bij' sounds more natural than keeping them together.
Don't use for billionaires
It sounds a bit too 'cute' for someone like Jeff Bezos. Use 'steenrijk' for them.
