쌤통이다

쌤통이다 뭐예요? 
What is 쌤통? 

The word "쌤통" means the feeling of delight in someone's misfortune or failure.

In fact, there is a technical term for this in psychology.
Schadenfreude. 
"Schadenfreude" is a German word that refers to the experience of pleasure or joy that comes from witnessing or learning about others’ misfortune.

"Especially, when someone I am jealous of makes a mistake and stumbles in front of others, I find myself secretly happy."
When you feel this, you can say 쌤통이다. 

But be careful!
it is generally considered a negative emotion so you should not express that emotion inside out. 

Don’t forget this!
쌤통이다.

아 맞다! 우산을 깜빡했네!
Oh, right! I forgot my umbrella!
아 맞다! 핸드폰 충전해야 돼!
Oh, right! I should charge my phone!

아 맞다! 뭐예요? 
What is “아 맞다!” in Korean? 

“Ah!" is an exclamation used when someone realizes something suddenly. Simple, right?

Then what about "맞다"(matda)?
Actually, "맞다" is a verb that means "to correspond or match with something else without conflicting in action, opinion, or situation."
In English, you could say "It's correct. It’s right."
However, Korean people use the expression "맞다" when suddenly remembering something.
If you realize something you forget and you remember it, 
you can say "아, 맞다!"

Don’t forget this!
아 맞다!

Here's a caution!
"맞다" is not an adjective but a verb.
In the case of Korean verbs, '-는다' should be added instead of '-다' to form "맞는다" (matneunda).
However, Koreans use "맞다" more often.
It may be grammatically incorrect, but it's used this way most of the time.

when something good happens.
