Can one say:
a. I am jealous of you and her.
b. I am jealous about you and her.
c. I am envious of you and her.
d. I am envious about you and her.
e. I envy you and her.
Which of the above sentences could mean:
I am jealous of the fact that you and she are together.
Many Thanks.
Azz.
I think envious works better in this situation. Jealousy is wanting to keep something you have, while envy is wanting something someone else has. Many people use jealous when they mean envious though, so the words are somewhat losing their separate meanings - unfortunately, in my opinion.
Also, I think c and e sound best.
According to me a, c and e are correct. ‘Jealous’ and ‘Envious’ take the preposition ‘of’. The questions, however, do not imply that ‘you’ and ‘her’ are together.
