Hola todo el mundo!

For this definition- ser egoista, no pensar en los demas. Would this definition suit the word celoso or pensar en el mismo?

For this definition- quiere lo que tiene otra persona. Would this definition suit the word celoso or pensar en el mismo?

Answer 1

Hi there,

If you translate them in English as below:- ser egoista = be egoist celosa = jealous no pensar en los demas = not thinking of others. pensar en el mismo = Think about the same.

Quiere lo que tiene otra persona = He wants what other person has. The meaning of the word jealous is = feeling resentment against someone because of that person's rivalry, success, or advantages.

So now you will know all your questions have different meaning.

Well then, Kyleyyzhu, this sounds like homework and we don't do that for you. You must first post your own attempts. - rac1, Feb 4, 2014

@rac1- It is not exactly homework- I talked to my classmates, but we are confused as well. I am confused because I don't think the definitions go with the phrase, "pensar el mismo" at all - kyleyyzhu, Feb 4, 2014
