(Scotland) Friendly, agreeable, pleasant.
Couthie is a warm Scottish word meaning friendly, agreeable, pleasant, and comfortable — the kind of cosy, welcoming quality you find in a neighbour who always has the kettle on or a pub where everyone knows your name. It implies genuine warmth rather than forced politeness, the sort of easy sociability that makes you feel at home immediately. Couthie people don't put on airs; they're approachable, kind, and unpretentious in the best possible way.
(obsolete, UK, thieves') A child.

(archaic, or, obsolete, uncountable) Friends and acquaintances.
"kith" is an old or dialect word meaning friends and acquaintances. If your teen uses it, they have most likely picked it up from a book, video game, period drama, or a regional grandparent rather than a modern peer group. There is no cause for concern here; the word is largely out of contemporary teen usage. If it appears in a school text, it is being studied for vocabulary or historical context. You can treat it like any other archaic vocabulary item.
"kith" is obsolete or literary English meaning friends and acquaintances. It is used widely across English varieties. A more formal or neutral equivalent would be something like "friends and acquaintances" expressed in standard vocabulary. A common mistake is to use "kith" in modern conversation; it will sound strange or theatrical. Recognise it in older texts, but use the modern equivalent when speaking. If you are a B2 or C1 learner, it is useful to recognise this word when you hear or read it, but think carefully about whether the situation really calls for it before using it yourself.
