There is no English equivalent for Schadenfreude. It means to take guilty pleasure in the suffering of others when it is well deserved. We all know what that is like. We feel like it but don’t indulge it because we are not mean people. We are nice people. And yet, there are times when you just have to realize it: we are experiencing schadenfreude.
