Usage tips
Reflexive verb
'Wohlfühlen' (to feel comfortable) is a reflexive verb and is always used with a reflexive pronoun in the dative or accusative (ich fühle mich wohl, du fühlst dich wohl). The pronoun 'sich' is a fixed part of the verb.
EXAMPLE
Er fühlt sich in der neuen Stadt noch nicht richtig wohl.
He still doesn't really feel comfortable in the new city.
Separable verb
The verb is separable. In a main clause, the prefix 'wohl' comes at the end of the sentence. In a subordinate clause or in the infinitive, 'wohl' and 'fühlen' stay together.
EXAMPLE
Hier fühle ich mich endlich wohl.
Here I finally feel comfortable.
Word composition
The word is made up of 'wohl' (well, comfortable) and 'fühlen' (to feel). So the meaning is literal: you feel good.
EXAMPLE
Fühlst du dich bei uns wohl?
Do you feel comfortable with us?
Typical prepositions
Prepositions are often used to name the reason for the feeling of well-being. You feel comfortable 'an einem Ort' (in/at a place), 'in einer Situation' (in a situation), or 'bei Personen' (with people).
EXAMPLE
Bei meinen Großeltern habe ich mich immer sehr wohlgefühlt.
I always felt very comfortable at my grandparents' place.
