Gemütlichkeit (German pronunciation: [ɡəˈmyːtlɪçkaɪt] ( listen)) is a German abstract noun that has been adopted into English.[1] Its closest equivalent is the word "coziness"; however, rather than merely describing a place that is compact, well-heated and nicely furnished (a cozy room, a cozy flat), Gemütlichkeit connotes the notion of belonging, social acceptance, cheerfulness, the absence of anything hectic and the opportunity to spend quality time.

I wonder if that word is related to "gezelligheid" or "gezellig" which is a Dutch word. All of these words (Dutch, Swedish) look quite similar to gemütlich or gemütlichkeit.
I'll bet it is. :)

Halloween is over, but today I came across this gif which tickled my funnybone. Thought I'd share with you:

Yep, you're right. 'Gezellig' is the same as 'gemütlich'.
