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.
Wir haben viele Deutscher im heir.

OT: Is "schadenfreude" a word you use in English? Never seen it before, that's why I'm asking.
But I never heard them pronounce it. Shah-din-froy-da ?

Sorry to bump in, but I need help from one of the learn person.
How do I change a language font size? I don't want to change english font size I want to change Cambodian font support. It's too large to display on the screen. Is there a way to make it smaller?

I guess English people just use "told you so", which logically means almost the same thing, if not semantically.

I am so used to vahingonilo (exactly same than the german one) that it should exist on every language
