The best translation I’ve heard for “fargin” is to begrudge, which is sort of a combination of resent and envy. “

That would be “jahliver” (hope I pronounced it right).

Fargin means the opposite or DON’T begrudge. Hence, I fargin him that he won the lottery. I just wish I had, too. You are being generous in your emotion al acceptance of someone else’s good fortune or accomplishment.

But – She was jealous of her friend being voted in as president of the women’s club, because she jahlivered her friend’s good luck.
