Sich ruhig ausruhen und eine gute Zeit haben, oft ohne etwas Wichtiges zu tun.

The German word "chillen" is a colloquial verb borrowed from English, meaning "to chill" or "to relax." It originated from the English slang of the same term. "Chillen" connotes taking it easy, relaxing without stress, or hanging out in a laid-back manner.

Similar words in German include "entspannen" (to relax), "ausruhen" (to rest), and "bummeln" (to lounge or meander).

The difference between "chillen" and these similar words is primarily in connotation and informality; "chillen" implies a casual and leisurely activity, often in a social context, whereas "entspannen" and "ausruhen" may suggest a more intentional focus on relaxation or rest.
