| Jan 15, 2017 at 21:42 | comment | added | Some_Guy | Hi, I'm looking back on this answer, and though they are good suggestions, what I still feel they are missing from "feeling welcome" is the feeling that people are happy to have you with them. While being well-received or feeling at home do get a point across, the essence of "welcomeness" is not so much exactly how you were treated, but the impression that your presence is wanted i.e. not that anyone is doing you a favour; there is a genuine motive behind any gestures of goodwill. It's a very specific concept, I know, so perhaps there isn't such an idiomatic translation of it. Any thoughts? | |

And I can say that "eles fizeram com que eu me sentisse em casa". Of course that's a figure of speech because there´s no place like home for one to feel at home. What is really meant is that they made me feel very comfortable, as if I were in my own country. | |

Let me point out that (...) me sentisse em casa has an extra nuance after the other sentences -> (for the other sentences,) you can be very well-received e.g. in a diplomatic context, and feel very well-taken-care-of... without feeling "at home".
