If you could, please format it

WORD, DEFINITION

I want to add them to a flashcard deck for myself, I casually collect loanwords and have been getting turned on to trying out csv/flashcards lately haha

Feel free to do the same, if the format is followed you can just copy and paste it to a new line of the csv deck

Schadenfreude is counted as an english word as well now, if that matters.
