I know it's German (German is my native language), and I know and love the feeling.

Was only surprised to see it in an English sentence. Gesundheit I know is used in English, but Schadenfreude I hadn't heard before. Well, if you say it's not "directly translatable", it probably makes sense to use the German word. It's the meaner of the 2 languages it seems.
