We use this Japanese Kanji word “嫉妬(しっと-shitto)” for translating English word “Jealousy” into Japanese. And also in some case we use “妬み(ねたみ-netami)”, “焼き餅 [or 焼餅](やきもち-yakimochi)” etc for translating “Jealousy” depending on the contents of a sentence in which the word “Jealousy” is used.
The words “嫉妬”, “焼き餅 or 焼餅” have almost same meaning and most of the time used for translating the word “Jealousy” but the word “妬み” often used for translating the English word “Envy” as well as “Jealousy”.
