Ein Gefühl, bei dem man traurig oder unzufrieden ist, weil jemand anderes etwas hat, das man selbst auch haben möchte.
The German word "Neid" is a noun that means "envy" or "jealousy". It stems from the Middle High German word and is related to the concept of desiring something that someone else possesses. "Neid" typically refers to the resentful emotion towards another person because of their advantages, possessions, or successes.
Similar words in German include "Eifersucht" (jealousy, often in a romantic context) and "Missgunst" (ill will or spitefulness towards someone else's good fortune).
The difference between "Neid" and "Eifersucht" is that "Eifersucht" specifically refers to jealousy regarding relationships or affection, whereas "Neid" can be more broadly related to any feelings of coveting what others have, such as wealth or achievements.
