> It's not jealousy, it is resenting somebody for their fortune.
I think in the Christian tradition, this would be called envy, in Dutch it would be Afgunst, the German version of the Dutch Wikipedia page for Afgunst is Missgunst. Of course, die Missgunst ist nicht ganz der Neid.
- detaro 9y agoEnvy/Neid to me means that there is something you want that the other person has, which isn't required for Missgunst. (and envy doesn't have to be as negative)
