Usage notes
de Schande can overlap with en shame insofar as the latter is used in the sense of "disgrace". However, the two words should not be identified generally because this will lead to misunderstandings. Particularly, the phrase de es ist eine Schande means "it's a disgrace". The German translation for "it's a shame" would be de es ist schade.
