I have decided to learn at least one new word a day. My mom tells me that it’s important to share knowledge, so I’m gonna share my new words with you from time to time… learn y’all some vocabulary!
OK, so in honor of my mom and dad’s fine German heritage, I’ve decided that today’s new word would come from our great homeland: Germany! Vive le Haagen dazs! OK, everyone open your brains and get ready… the word of the day is…
Schadenfreude – it’s pronounced like this: SHAAD-n-froiduh.
It’s a noun and it means “Pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others.”
OK, so now let’s try using it in a sentence. I experienced great schadenfreude as Nuno was going to the vet for his shots.
Ahh… I can feel my brain getting bigger!!!
