Interesting… seems that Dutch gezellig is something similar to the Danish notion of hygge, but without the sense of “an almost pathological taste for Poul Henningsen lamps as a means to tame whatever it was that drove Danish men to spend their lives Viking across the Atlantic”. But then my experience in Denmark was very narrowly spent with my ex-wife’s family there, so maybe I’d have gotten hygge with it eventually.
