gemutlichkeit (guh-myoo-likh-KYT, -MOOT-) noun
Warm friendliness; amicability. [German, from gemutlich, congenial.] "Ernst's round figures have an endearingly toylike gemutlichkeit, however, and youngsters may still find the out-of folktale experience a diverting one." Deborah Stevenson, Goldilocks Returns by Lisa Campbell Ernst (review), Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, May 1, 2000. This week's theme: words from the German language. ............................................................................. The influence of each human being on others in this life is a kind of immortality. -John Quincy Adams, 6th president of the U.S. (1767-1848) Subscribe: http://wordsmith.org/awad/subscribe.html Unsubscribe: http://wordsmith.org/awad/unsubscribe.html Change address: http://wordsmith.org/awad/address-change.html Gift subscription: http://wordsmith.org/awad/gift.html Pronunciation: http://wordsmith.org/words/gemutlichkeit.wav http://wordsmith.org/words/gemutlichkeit.ram
