      That's kind of interesting! As an adjective, "kwaad" means "angry". However, as a noun it is never used to mean "anger" (which would be "woede" in Dutch).

        Would misery also work?

          This is a line worthy of a fantasy novel or some other genre book. :-)

            Does anybody else hear "krad" for the word "kwaad". Is the w pronounced as r in Dutch?
