I am wondering if perhaps anyone knows of a word that I have been trying to rediscover for years. I originally read it in the New York Times travel section. It was an article about Amsterdam and the bars there that were very warm, friendly, cozy. The Dutch have a word that describes the warm, comfortable feeling and the cozy atmosphere in
these small pubs. Several people have suggested that the word is "gezellig". This is a very good word, but not the one that I am thinking of that was used in the article. Thanks for any help.
