Skadeglad, if they want something easier to pronounce for an English speaker. But tbh I don't know if these kinds of compound words should count at all.
Considering thst schadenfreude is a commonish word in English now… I just assumed it was the inspiration for this
There's a few "words" in this thread that I feel are stretching the concept. "Köksbord" is written as one word, but it literally means "kitchen's table". A "bookshelf" and a "book shelf" are not different things.
I feel like "skadeglad" is a bit more in the spirit of things though because the combination of the words implies a more complex idea. It could be misinterpreted as meaning sadistic by just a literal reading. More like "every day" vs "everyday."
