Is there a single word in Irish that is the equivalent to schadenfreude. I see on wiktionary there is "aighir mhillteach" in Gadhlig

Hi there.

In Ireland people would say about such a person that there was 'badness' in them. This word seems to be used a lot less these days and I'm guessing it comes from the Irish 'olcas'.

Now I just did a search in Fr. Dinneen's dictionary and can give you the word for the opposite meaning for sure-- I have quoted directly from his dictionary.

"a person is called nádúrtha for shedding
tears on hearing of some misfortune that befell a cousin, an aunt, etc., but I have never
heard the word applied to persons in regard to their kindness to the poor or to strangers"

nádúrthacht, -a, f., good nature, kindness, readiness to bestow"

So the way I see it is that "olcas" is the opposite of "nádúrthacht"; both are nouns.

i mBéarla chuala mé "duck's soup" air. It was duck's soup to them to hear of his misfortune.

Gloating is binnbharraíocht, but I don't know if it is exactly the same as schadenfreude. "Bhí an bhinnbharraíocht agam air".
