  Schaden = damage

  Freude = joy

    Thanks.

    Interesting how that doesn’t seem to fit, to me, with how I’ve heard its meaning described as “Pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others”.

      Schaden does not only mean damage, but also misfortune.

      It’s the joy / pleasure when seeing people having misfortune (or damaging their own stuff)…
