[Corpora-List] cheerfully unaware

[Kate Beeching]

For most examples here "breezily", "unrepentantly" or "unashamedly" would  fit better i.e. the person is either aware or 'blissfully unaware" of the negative quality and in either case it is not something which upsets them, indeed  they might paradoxically be quite proud of it. 
 
As for translating this into German... nicht beschamt... ? schamlos...? unbereut? But there the word retains too in some cases a hint of heiter or  munter... ? 
I'd be interested to know what you come up with,
Kate.

In many of these examples, "cheerfully" means "ungrudgingly" or "willingly".

Dear all,

I have a question about the collocation of CHEERFULLY with negative and negated adjectives, such as:
