Hi Yusuke 🙂 Jealousy is negative Envious is positive When someone is jealous means he is not happy for others success When someone is envious he is happy for them and you would like to have the same success Good luck 🤞

I think they are generally interchangeable, but the nuance is a bit different. In my opinion ‘jealous’ has a little more of an immature / dramatic feeling about it. ‘Envy’ feels a bit more neutral. If I’m chatting with friends and speaking in an animated/funny way I would say ‘Oh my god you’re going to HAWAII?? I’m so jealous!’ I would use ‘jealous’ because it adds a bit more drama!

There are many uses of both words. Some are nearly the same. I envy my brother (because he is wealthy). I envy my brother’s wealth. I envy his wealth. (So even though by default you envy a person, we often leave that out. I may not really envy him - I just wish I had his wealth.) I envy him his wealth. (I envy him because of his wealth. I wouldn’t favor this construction over the others, but you will hear it) I’m jealous of my brother (because he is wealthy) I’m jealous of his wealth. I’m jealous of him. I’m jealous of him his wealth. (No. That construction would only be used for ‘envy’) As a noun, ‘envy’ is a little higher register. Envy is a sin. (Yes) ‘Being jealous is a sin. ‘ Or ‘Jealousy is a sin.’ (Not really) Half the women I work with have a crush on me. My wife is constantly jealous. (Different than envy. Not expressing that she wants what I have, but rather that she doesn’t want me to receive romantic interest from others.)

They are interchangeable in most ways, but one common exception is in certain cases related to love. Envious cannot be used in the case below. Scenario: A man always asks his girlfriend to stop going out alone with her male friends, because he's afraid of her not remaining faithful to their relationship. Correct: He is a jealous boyfriend. Incorrect: He is an envious boyfriend. The boyfriend doesn't want to lose The words are still frequently interchangeable. Examples: He's envious of his friend's new car. He's jealous of his friends new car. I'm jealous of your great relationship skills! I envy your relationship skills. Lastly, "envy" is a more formal way to say that you're jealous of someone. You would more frequently see "envy" used in professional writing than "be jealous of." That's all I have to say, I hope it helps.
