Do we have schadenfreude in Somali?

[NordicSomali]

I heard this sheikh say shumaato is the same.

I always wonder, why Somalis enjoy the suffering of other somalis. I come to conclusion that, it is because of Qabiil rivalry, short sight, and retardness. There was a somali chieftain in colonialization era, where he sent a letter to another chieftain whom he was in conflicts and sometimes in war, he said in the letter, I may have conflicts and fights with you, but never I will support a foreigner against you. I think He was a Majeerteen leader to another leader. I don't remeber, but dadki hore aa dad ahaa

Xasiidnimo (is close but not exact). Though I doubt the vast majority take delight in the misery of others unless there is a perceived threat, dislike, unresolved grievance or grudge. However, certain characters rejoice in the misfortune of others (generally). That's a lot more sinister.

Why are speaking of this Sinister subject???


Introverts have more Schadenfreude disease than extroverts. It is all about the power of the mind. If your mind is weak- envy and jealous reigns supreme.
