Pronunciation
/ˈzazdrɔɕt͡ɕ/
Cultural Note
In Polish, 'zazdrość' covers both jealousy and envy — context determines the meaning. The adjective 'zazdrosny' (jealous) is commonly used about romantic partners. Polish has the saying 'zazdrość to trucizna miłości' (jealousy is the poison of love). A small amount of jealousy is sometimes seen as a sign that someone cares, but excessive 'zazdrość' is viewed very negatively.
