But gemütlich is not the same as "gesellig". "Gemütlich" could be very much. a sofy, a bed oryour favourite trousers - or a bar, but "gesellig" means anytime that there more people involved.<BR/><BR/>People which comes together in a smooth way are "gesellig" and a bar in which people could come together in a smooth way to talk, drink and diskuss is "gesellig", too.Zoe Bergstroemhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13245169622165887043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075435.post-1140045631012635762006-02-15T23:20:00.000Z2006-02-15T23:20:00.000ZHope you are having a blast.Debbie Hugginshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01744058304112274147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075435.post-1140022087187250312006-02-15T16:48:00.000Z2006-02-15T16:48:00.000ZI did wonder how long it would be before you couldn't resist the temptation to Blog!!<BR/><BR/>Well I suppose it is cheaper than a postcard and more likely to get there!Charlottehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08415631253013546469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075435.post-1140012904712524262006-02-15T14:15:00.000Z2006-02-15T14:15:00.000ZGlad your having a great holiday Becky.<BR/>I've love Italian food.

'kkkkkhhhzellekkkkkhhh' (the 'i' obviously being pronounced like an 'e'). Not quite as 'cosy' as might first appear.<BR/><BR/>Other great Dutch words include:<BR/><BR/>* Gracht (pron 'kkkkhhhrakkkkkkkhhhhht') meaning 'canal'<BR/>* Groningen (pron 'kkkkhhhhrowningen'), a town in the north east of the country, and<BR/>* negenenachtig (pron 'neykkkkhhhhenenakkkkkkgggggtikkkkhhhhh') meaning eighty nine...<BR/><BR/>Yours helpfully,<BR/><BR/>Kkkkkhhhhijkwindsing LijkworpsnerdAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075435.post-1139998767748631802006-02-15T10:19:00.000Z2006-02-15T10:19:00.000ZLove your love of words.
