Perhaps, but we'll know for sure if it rains on his wedding day.

Now, wouldn't that be wonderful! In many cultures, especially Native Hawaiian, rain is very lucky. And should it be woindy...well winds come for the Royalty (ali'i.)

I'm not sure about in English, but in German envy and jealousy are very distinct. Envy, or Neid, is only for material things, whereas jealousy, or Eifersucht, is only used in referring to people. German is a rather strict language and I tend to think that in English the two words are quite a bit more interchangeable!

squid,
Ich kann verstehen! What a twist on my inquiry. Of course, other languages would possibly be more precise. Shameful that I never explored that aspect. Danke, mit Besten Grussen (sorry no umlauts on this keyboard)!
