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

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. ;)

Yeah I've heard other people use it before. Just one of those words that works its way into other languages, much like "Computer" or "OK"

Wir haben viele Deutscher im heir. :D

Yup, it's a "germanicism", da es kein vergleichbares Wort im Englischen gibt. :)
But I never heard them pronounce it. Shah-din-froy-da ? :D

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'm beginning to think Schadenfreude exists in all languages except English. I know we have it in Swedish and Finnish (skadeglädje, vahingonilo), both directly translate to "accident-joy".

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

omg I just realized it too: english lacks some essential words.

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

I think you have misunderstood the Zeitgeist of this thread.

It does exist in English. That's what I'm saying. It's just not too popular.

The OP is very much a case of "I told you so". Of course you can enjoy schadenfreude even if you said nothing.

For the record, I dont think there is a direct equivalent in French either. Im not a native French speaker though.

I didn't disable all the transitions for a faster experience. I don't think that help if the FW has bugs in it, but just wanted to let everyone know.
you must be really stupid. OP quoted a person who said that lecal actions are possible with this leak.

and about 10 posts after you brag how you have pirated it and it seems to work?!?
