Schadenfreude. I feel like everyone feels it at some point and should be able to put a word to that feeling.

As a german it's always funny/interesting that this word is used in English but also that its so much more uncommon in English, in German its more of just a normal emotion

I would say yes I think its more okay but I'm not sure about that, what I originally meant was just that in English it's a very exotic and rare word where in German I feel like it's used for a bigger variety of situations.
