the satisfaction felt in response to someone else’s perceived deserved outcome
Tap for spoilerschadenfreud
It’s missing an “e” at the end…
And yes, I heard the German language is supposed to be full of such special-purpose words (and if not, we construct fitting new ones by endless concatenation)
So I guess, I am the lucky one in this thread. :-)
I really like how far German takes the whole compound word thing. People act like it makes it harder to read but I feel like it clicks for me
Depends. I like it, but it lures you into lazy naming of stuff, that being especially pronounced in state administration.
And written form is hell to comprehend for dyslexics…

I guess I just like how it implicitly causes you to think about the relationship and sum meaning, or that its like that idea generation thing where you randomly generate two words and try to come up with how they can be combined or interpreted
Ah yes, sure, Begriffsassoziativitätskombinatorik.
(Yes, I just made that word up. And also yes, it makes sense and might be the word describing what you were just thinking about.)
Can you break that down for me? Like
Begriffsassoziativitätskombinatorik, [each word in english seperated by + marks]? Thats a good pedagogic one for me haha
Begriff + s + assoziativität + s + kombinatorik
Word/term + s + associativity + s + combinatoric
So it is the combinatoric of associativity between words.
The “s” in there are just for easier speaking, which itself has a compoundword name: Fugen-s, do literally translated
That’s not uncommon in many other languages aside from German. Think of it as saving space(s).
