The way to say those in English is "rejoicing in the misfortune of others" and "business owner."

After edit: the saying cherished by linguists in English is "'loanword' is a calque, and 'calque' is a loanword," which I find helpful for remembering which word is which.



"business owner" != "entrepreneur"

Its not exactly uncommon for people to own businesses and to then employ people to run the company for them. This is pretty much how most long established public companies work.


'loanword' is a calque, and 'calque' is a loanword

That's a great line! I never heard it before.


Note that you had to translate a word with a phrase. That's an important difference.
