Gezelligheid is the cornerstone of social life. It is the feeling of being together in a warm, relaxed way. Flemish people also use 'gezellig' frequently, though their social style might be slightly more reserved. Similar to 'hygge', the Dutch 'gezellig' implies a focus on home and simple pleasures. The German 'gemütlich' is the closest cultural cousin to 'gezellig'.
