schadenfreude/skadeglad, Pleasure from another's downfall
Schadenfreude is counted as an english word as well now, if that matters.
Doesnt but thank you for caveat
Skadeglad, if they want something easier to pronounce for an English speaker. But tbh I don't know if these kinds of compound words should count at all.
Considering thst schadenfreude is a commonish word in English now… I just assumed it was the inspiration for this
There's a few "words" in this thread that I feel are stretching the concept. "Köksbord" is written as one word, but it literally means "kitchen's table". A "bookshelf" and a "book shelf" are not different things.
I feel like "skadeglad" is a bit more in the spirit of things though because the combination of the words implies a more complex idea. It could be misinterpreted as meaning sadistic by just a literal reading. More like "every day" vs "everyday."
