To this word I say, I love you. As I was searching through my email this morning, I noticed this word, so I clicked on it; I fell in love at first site. What is it about this word that I all of a sudden enjoy so much?
1) It's German;
2) It sounds cool;
3) The whole meaning behind it.
This word gives me a vision of what Germany is all about: beer and great times with the people in your life. It seems traditional and classy at the same time.
This word is great for use during celebrations or even when you're out on the town having a great time with friends. So next time I'm out with friends having a beer, you might find me saying to everyone in a toast, Gemütlichkeit.
