What is the difference between ‘envious’ and ‘enviable’? 🤔

When you are ‘envious’ of someone, you are very jealous of the person. You want something the person has — it could be anything, a new car he has bought or the dimples that appear on his cheeks when he smiles. You are rather unhappy that the other person has the car and the dimples, and you don’t. You wish you had them too. ‘Enviable’, on the other hand, means ‘highly desirable’. If someone is in ‘an enviable situation’, he is in a situation that is worthy of envy or likely to cause envy. Most people would wish to be in the same situation. Unlike ‘envious’, ‘enviable’ does not always have a negative connotation.

- Mala has always been envious of her neighbour’s success.

- You should hire Naveen. He has an enviable track record.
