How to use the word "envy"? I'm kind of confused about its meaning between"羡慕" and "嫉妒". Please give me some examples about "envy" in different language situation. Thank you.羡慕 means “admiration” 嫉妒 means “jealousy”

The word "envy" can be used as a verb or as a noun. Verb: I envy my neighbour. He has such a lovely car. Noun: When I think about my neighbour's car, the emotion I feel most is envy.

Sorry, I don't know "羡慕" and "嫉妒", but I can give you some examples. In English, you can use "envy" as a verb or a noun: 1) I envy him [because he has a lot of money]. 2) She was full of envy. Both the verb and the noun mean "jealous" and "to be jealous", respectively. 1) I am jealous of him 2) She was full of jealousy. I hope that helps! :) Kind regards, Choppy
