German "gesellig" is the same. But then again it is not per se a translation.

  The word has a similar origin and definitely works as a translation for one of the uses of gezellig, but it doesn't cover the entire definition. It helps that the languages are so closely related but they're different enough that I wouldn't call it a translation. The inverse is true of many Dutch words with a common German origin as well. We straight-up imported "überhaupt" because there's no commonly used, single word that expresses the same particular thing (other than another loan word).
