zelen od zavísti green with envy
sama zavíst ga je he is eaten up with envy
iz zavísti govoré tako škandalozne stvari o meni they say such scandalous things about me out of envy
pozelenela je od zavísti it turned her green with envy
počiti od zavísti to burst with envy
zbuditi, zbujati zavíst pri kom to rouse someone's envy, to excite the envy of someone, to he the envy of someone
bolje je zbujati zavíst kot pa usmiljenje better be envied than pitied

zgodíti se to happen (komu to someone), to occur, to come to pass, to come about, to chance; to take place; to befall

naj se zgodi, kar hoče! happen what may!, no matter what happens!
prav se mu je zgodilo! it served him right!
kar se je zgodilo, se je zgodilo what's done is done!
da se (ti) to več ne zgodi! don't let that happen again!
zgôdi se Tvoja volja! religija Thy will be done!
in nič se ni zgodilo and nothing happened
kdaj se je to zgodilo? when did it take place?
takó se je to zgodilo this is how it came about
zgodila se mu je nesreča he has had an accident, he has met with an accident
nesreča se nikoli ne zgodi sama misfortunes never come singly
