What does envidia mean


What does “tener envidia” mean?

Easy we can use it in different context and it can go along with different verbs but the translation on “envidia” is the same “envy”, I know I know, if you are an English speaker probably you think this is a bit too much as in English you would just say “I am so jealous”, but since in Spanish jealous- “celoso” has a slightly different meaning as most of the times has a romantic implication, you can be jealous of someone,  like when your partner talk to another person or spend a lot of time with someone else…but this is not the case we are talking in today’s post. We are focusing on the day a day conversations you have.

So as let’s recap, “tener envidia” equals “ to be jealous” or more literal “to have envy” , so far so good…

Let’s have a look of the several verbs can go with “envidia”

-tener envidia,

this is the most common verbs to go with If someone is telling you is travelling for a few months around the word, and after that she or he will still have their job, you probably want to kill them 😛 but first you would shout, and yes I literally mean shout here 😉

-!No me lo puedo creer!Tengo mucha envidia!Leevame contigo-“I can’t believe it, I am so jealous, take me with you” 🙂

To make it shorther most of the time we say !Qué envidia!-“I am so jealous!”-simpler 🙂

 

-dar envidia,

ok a tricky one, as it can be in a good or bad way

Bad one-if someone you know is always trying to make people jealous with his things, even when it does not work.

Jaime siempre trata de dar envidia con las cosas que hace, pero no me parecen intersantes para nada- “Jaime is always trying to make us jealous with the things he does, but I do not think they are interesting at all.”

Good way-If your friends are telling you their plans for the summer and you have made your own ones but theirs look much more fun, I think we all have been there…like my friend going to Thailand and me going home for a wedding :S –anyway you can always say

Deja de darme envidia-“Stop making me jealous”

 

#important-So in a few words “tener envidia” is “to have envy” which as I promise makes sense, does not it?

 

Now let’s see some interesting and useful variants,

 

-morirse de envidia,

It is not quite literal like dying from envy, but it is a bad thing to have,so  this one is often used with a bad way, I mean we use it to refer someone we know is a bit envious,

If your friend is talking about a promotion and all of your friends are happy for them except for one, then you will talk to your friend, yeah probably behind his back-bad thing to do guys, but great for my example

¿Has visto Jorge?No te ha dicho nada, está muerto de envidia-“Have you seen Jorge? He has not said a word, he is green with envy”

-envidia cochina,

when the envy is quite extreme, pig or sow envy, most of the time is used in a funny way as well, as nobody is sick of envy, or if they are they do not express it out loud.

And it is the person who is doing the good thing who say it to shut the people talking up.

Ok let’s explain this better with an example.

If you are talking about going somewhere during  the weekend and someone says,

“He estado alli, y no te va a gustar, no es tan bonito y dos días son demasiados, además normalmente hace mal tiempo”-“I have been there, you are not going to like it, it is not so good, two days is too long to stay there and it is usually bad weather”

You can say

Lo que pasa es que tienes envidia cochina que voy de viaje y tú no-“what happenes is that you are green with envy that I am going away and you don’t.”

That would make them to be quiet 🙂  #trick

 

-envidia sana,

no..such a thing does not exit even when people try to justify it,  envy is envy, and it is always bad 🙂  but it is quite popular in Spanish use this when someone you know and like is doing really good or have a really good chance

Imagine your cousin has got a job and she is going to be travelling a few countries with her job, you will be happy for you and you will congratulate her saying

“!Enhorabuena! Tienes muchisima suerte, no sabes la envidia que me das, envidia sana, claro 😛  “-“Congratulations! You are so lucky, I am really jealous, but in a good way”

 

 

 

This sentences can also have double sense as we can say we are so happy for someone but what we really think is not that, example,

You might meet a friend who has won the new psp on a raffle and you want that psp but you havent mannage to save enough to get it yet so when your friend comes to you saying.

 

-Mira lo que he ganado-“look what I have won”

You will say

!Qué envidia! Pero de la sana ¿eh?- “Oh I am so jealous, but in the good way..”

But you are actually thinking espero que no le funcione –”I hope it does not work”

 

 

#extra an today you also get an idiom which use “envidia” –si la envidia fuera tiña cuantos tiñosos habría” literally is “if envy were ringworm lot of people would suffer from it”, kind of, or which is the same “the word is full of envious people”.

we normally use this sentences in a funny way like if your colleague at work is picking on you, joking, obviously 🙂  because you are on holidays next week, which is supposed to be very busy, you could say

“Si la envidia fuera tiña cuantos tiñosos habría”, letting him know that you know he is picking on you because “tiene envidia” –he is jealous

You also can leave the sentences unfinished like “si la envidia fuera tiña…” everybody knows how it goes 🙂

#note-I know more of the examples are related to travel, but it is the thing that really makes me jealous-me da mucha envidia, but of course if can apply to everything.

 

Homework-Practice makes perfection, so give this sentences a chance, leave a comment below with a sentences using “tener envidia”, I promise it will stick in your brain, and if you repeat that same sentences for a couple of times each day for 3 days, you will get it!You will be a step ahead in your Spanish learning journey, and next time you have the chance to use it in conversation with your Spanish friends their jaws will drop J, seriously, try it!

What do the letters and numbers mean in the name of the video card from NVIDIA

All for iPad / Offtopic In the modern computer hardware market, you can find models of video cards from NVIDIA of several generations. It can be both separate computer components and video cards built into laptops. Businessmen boldly call any PC with a discrete graphics card a gaming one, which is not always true. We will tell you about the markings by which you can most accurately determine the performance of an NVIDIA video card.

What the letters in the name mean

GT is the most minimal level of performance that is not intended for gaming PCs. It is used most often in "general use" computers.

GTX - Medium to high performance, suitable for gaming PCs.

Quadro is a professional performance indicator designed for complex 3D applications and various computational simulations.

RTX is a 2018 generation that brings photorealistic graphics to games. Highlights, reflections and shadows are calculated in real time, resulting in realistic lighting levels and graphics in general.

What do the numbers in the name mean? The very first number (for example, 7xx, 10xx) indicates the generation of the video card, and the higher it is, the newer the video card.

The second digit (96x, 105x) indicates the position of the model in the line and speaks of performance indicators. The higher the number, the higher the score. The third digit only takes a value from 0 to 5. Zero indicates that this is the first version, and five indicates that the video card has been re-released and changed.

What do different postscripts mean in the name

NVIDIA manufacturers mark their product in addition to numbers by adding combinations of letters to the name. LE, for example, says that the cost of the video card is cheaper, since it comes with reduced performance. OC (overclocked) and Ti (Titanium) - versions with overclocked accelerator.


Having familiarized yourself with the decoding of the designations in the names of NVIDIA video cards, you can easily find a model that will fully satisfy your needs. Also, when buying, you should also pay attention to the type and frequency of video memory. For example, GDDR3 is found only in budget versions of models with minimal performance indicators, but GDDR5 is installed on new models of video cards that are characterized by high cost and speed. Of course, there are more powerful variants of this series, for example, GDDR5X, etc. But in the RTX line there is an absolute leader in terms of performance - these are video cards with GDDR6.
