As an American, I am in perpetual shock that schadenfreude doesn’t have an English analog.

It’s literally our most universal core societal value here and we don’t even have a word for it.

As a German, that makes me schadenfroh.

It does have an English analog, it’s schadenfreude. Like many (most?) English words, it’s been adopted.
