Interesting that English doesn't have its own word for schadenfreude. It's commonly recognised emotion where I live thus it has own word for it.

Actually you do have the English word "Epicaricacy" that does exactly describe the German word schadenfreude.  It does have its origin in Greek, but it is an English word alright.

@CyberDyme Thanks. In Finnish known as "vahingonilo" = vahinko (=~misfortune/mishap literally) + ilo (=joy). Here we have a saying that "vahingonilo on paras ilo" which would translate "Epicaricacy/Joy of misfortune is best of joys".

"Skadeglädje är den enda sanna glädjen" in Swedish. "skade"=harm/injury/damage + glädje=happiness/joy . Translated: Epicaricacy is the one true source of  joy/happiness (ish).

My reflexes are slow so I try to make up for it by using my head more.

And the Danish version of schadenfreude being "Skadefryd".  "skade"= damage.  "fryd" = joy.

So all the Nordic countries appear well versed in that.  Has that something to do with our 'Law of Jante'?   :o)  

And totally agreed with @fisknyllet17 , the German version "schadenfreude" just works so much better, without worry on how to pronounce that old complex Greek term.

Can't we just laugh at other people's misfortune?
