"I am jealous because she loves you more."

Translation: Aku cemburu karena dia lebih sayang kamu.

What's the difference between "iri" and "cemburu"?

[MartinBahasa]

I am wondering about the same

In some cases you can switch between those and in others (like here) you have to use "cemburu"

In one dictionary I found it could be like "iri" is sharper (it is moro into "spiteful") while "cemburu" means "jelaous" in its basic meaning (jelaous can be sometimes even in a playful way or a bit jokeable). But not sure about that...

Cie~

[frouk13]

dia lebih sayang kamu = he loves you more .
dia tidak sayang kepadamu = he does not love you .
Why the KEPADAmu in the second sentence ?

[MartinBahasa]

Both are common to use in Indonesian:

"Aku cinta kamu"

"Aku cinta kepadamu"

Must "lebih" come before the verb?

[raihanisme]

Yes

[ShofwanAmr]

Yes,

[donny309620]

why not "... lebih mencintai kamu"?

[ShofwanAmr]

That should be accepted too

[Kst868213]

Tidak bisa bilang "lebih cinta kamu"?

[raihanisme]

"sayang" is also means love (as a verb)

[ShofwanAmr]

This one is also sounds okay to me :)

Why not "Saya merasa cemburu..." instead of "Aku cemburu..."?

[ShofwanAmr]

Saya with aku is similar, where "cemburu" is already a feeling, so we can omit "merasa" here.

Besides, "saya merasa cemburu" would literally means " I feel jealous"

[Brian260733]

"Saya cemburu karena dia cinta kamu lebih banyak." What about this?
