BYU and Utah helping my German

Last two games:



Freude=BYU 107, Opponents 17

Schadenfreude=Utah 10, Opponents 75

I don't suppose you're taking an International MBA Finance class at BYU are you?



if not, this is an amazingly odd coincidence.

I was actually thinkning the same thing Saturday night to take in some Schadenfreude at utefans.net. At that point almost everyone who posted was conceding defeat for the rest of the season and even some were calling out Coach Quitingham

BYU wins + Utah Loses =

Genuss Pur

wahre Wonne

entzückt und beglückt

äußerst preiswert.

I am so lost.

Nope, not me. I graduated with an MA in Linguistics in 1976...my German from a mission in Germany.



Freude is German for joy

Schadenfreude is German for joy in misfortune, or getting joy out of another's misfortune...

Schadenfreude has always been one of my favorite words--too bad English doesn't an equivalent.

I ask because MINUTES before you posted this, I mentioned in class how excited I was for ND's victory on Saturday and was introduced to the Schadenfreude. It was even written on the board. I can't say I've heard, seen, or smelt that word before, and the odds of you posting that within minutes of my learning it are about the statistical odds that the DJIA could fluctuate 1000 points in a single day. Cause...that would never happen.



I thought for sure you were in the class.

Actually we've discussed Schadenfreude on this board before.. I had to google it to learn what it was and I've been enjoying it ever since...

There is an English equivalent in some dictionaries: schadenfreude.

I learned this word (and many others) from the golden years of the Simpsons. I believe Lisa explained this to Homer as he gloated over Flanders' Leftorium woes, but it might be another episode....

Why does it always come back to Freud

Apparently, based on our small sampling on this board, not many english-speakers are familiar with this word! Maybe it has to do with our Mormon upbringings and being taught to not gain joy from others' pain.
