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.

Grammar Points
V-아도/어도 되다
'-아도/어도 되다' is used to express permission.
In a question, this pattern is used to ask permission from another person.
In a declarative sentence, it expresses the permission of the speaker.
verb stem's last vowels ending with 'ㅏ' or 'ㅗ' + -아도 돼요 : 가다 -> 가도 돼요.
verbs ending with '하다', 하다 -> 해도 돼요 : 전화하다 -> 전화해도 돼요.
In all other cases, add '-어도 돼요' : 먹다 -> 먹어도 돼요.

Plus.
When giving a full agreement, expressions such as "그럼요", "물론이지요", "네, 괜찮아요." are used.

Reading Korea.

Asking for permission

Quali sono i passi da fare quando ci si trasferisce in un altro Paese?
Vi racconto come io ho affrontato questa ennesima avventura.
.
Ricominciare da zero... ancora una volta
Fare un passo alla volta, ma fare un passo tutti i giorni
Costruire una routine
Uscire di casa e fare qualcosa di nuovo tutti i giorni
Ogni prima volta non tornerà più quindi GODERSELA!
