"Don't tell me what to do"

Listening to my German exchange student, Franzi, attempt to figure out what a German word translates to in English has become one of my favorite activities. Some things don't translate directly and this results in confusion. We both work together and teach each other words and about the varying cultures in our two countries. Today, we caught up on some reruns of Drake & Josh and The Suite Life of Zack and Cody and realized that both of these shows (That shaped my entire childhood), are shown in Germany too.

And the other day we were talking about words that are combined in German and spoken separate in English. For example, it was brought to my attention that in German, there is a word that describes finding happiness in the misfortunes of others. At first I found it kind of sad, but now, I'm pretty disappointed the English language hasn't given a word to this concept yet, since most people definitely experience it all the time.

Because there was an abundance of them on google:
