When you want to express the idea of making someone jealous in Portuguese, the verb to use is enciumar. This verb directly translates to 'to make jealous' or 'to cause someone to feel envy.'
It's often used when an action or situation provokes feelings of jealousy or resentment in another person. For example, if you praise one child more than another, you might be 'enciumando' the other child.

§ What does it mean and when do people use it?
Alright, let's get straight to it. Today we're looking at the Portuguese verb enciumar. If you're learning Portuguese, you'll definitely come across this one, especially when talking about relationships, feelings, or even just general social dynamics. It's not a super rare word, and understanding it will help you grasp more nuanced conversations.
- DEFINITION
- To make jealous; to cause someone to feel envy or resentment.
That's the core meaning. Think of it as the action of *making* someone jealous. It's an active verb, meaning someone or something is doing the 'enciumar-ing.' It's not about *being* jealous (that's ter ciúmes or estar com ciúmes), but rather about instigating that feeling in another person.
You'll hear enciumar in a few common situations. The most obvious is when one person intentionally tries to make another person jealous, perhaps in a romantic context, or even among friends or siblings.
Ela tentou enciumar o ex-namorado com fotos de viagens. (She tried to make her ex-boyfriend jealous with travel photos.)
See how in this example, 'ela' (she) is the one performing the action of making someone jealous. It's a direct cause-and-effect verb here.
But it's not always intentional. Sometimes, actions or situations can *unintentionally* make someone feel jealous or envious, and enciumar can be used in these cases too. For example, if someone gets a promotion and a colleague feels envious, you could say the promotion 'enciumou' the colleague, even if there was no intention to do so.
O sucesso dele acabou por enciumar alguns amigos. (His success ended up making some friends jealous.)
You might also encounter its reflexive form, enciumar-se. This means 'to become jealous' or 'to get jealous.' While the simple verb is about *causing* jealousy, the reflexive form is about *feeling* it in oneself, often as a result of someone else's actions or a situation.
Ele enciumou-se quando viu a namorada conversando com outro. (He got jealous when he saw his girlfriend talking to another guy.)
Here, the action reflects back on the subject: 'he' made 'himself' jealous. It's a common way to express the feeling of jealousy in Portuguese.
So, when would you use this? Anytime you want to express the idea of causing jealousy or someone becoming jealous. It's a precise verb for a specific emotion and its cause. It’s more formal than just saying someone is feeling jealous, as it highlights the action or event that *led* to that feeling.
Think of these scenarios where enciumar fits perfectly:
- A sibling getting more attention, enciumando the other.
- A new car, an expensive gift, or a promotion, which might enciumar someone who desires the same.
- Flirtatious behavior that's meant to enciumar a partner.
It's a useful verb because it conveys the active element of provoking or triggering jealousy, rather than just stating that jealousy exists. Master this, and you'll sound much more natural when discussing emotions in Portuguese.
§ Understanding 'Enciriumar'
The Portuguese verb enciumar (en-see-oo-MAR) means to make someone jealous or to cause them to feel envy or resentment. It's a regular verb ending in -ar, which makes its conjugations fairly straightforward once you know the patterns. This verb is commonly used when someone intentionally, or even unintentionally, provokes feelings of jealousy in another person. Think of it as 'to cause jealousy' rather than 'to be jealous' (which is usually expressed with estar com ciúmes or ter ciúmes).
- Verb Conjugation (Present Tense)
- Eu enciumo (I make jealous)
- Tu enciumas (You make jealous - informal)
- Ele/Ela/Você enciuma (He/She/You make jealous)
- Nós enciumamos (We make jealous)
- Vós enciumais (You make jealous - formal plural, less common in Brazil)
- Eles/Elas/Vocês enciumam (They/You make jealous)
§ How to Use It in a Sentence
When using enciumar, it typically takes a direct object, which is the person being made jealous. It's a transitive verb. There aren't any particularly tricky prepositions to remember with enciumar itself; it's usually followed directly by the object pronoun or the name of the person.
Não tente enciumar-me com suas histórias. (Don't try to make me jealous with your stories.)
Here, 'me' is the direct object pronoun. It's attached to the infinitive form of the verb because it's preceded by 'não tente' (don't try to).
A nova colega de trabalho enciumou Maria com sua promoção rápida. (The new coworker made Maria jealous with her quick promotion.)
In this example, 'Maria' is the direct object. The verb is in the past tense (pretérito perfeito simples).
§ Active vs. Passive Voice
While enciumar is usually used in the active voice, you might also see it in the passive or reflexive form. When used reflexively with 'se', it means 'to get jealous' or 'to become jealous' due to something.
Ele se enciuma facilmente com a atenção que ela dá a outros. (He gets jealous easily with the attention she gives to others.)
Here, 'se' makes the action reflect back on the subject, indicating that 'he' becomes jealous. This is a common way to express the feeling of jealousy, rather than being the cause of it. Pay attention to context to understand if someone is causing jealousy or experiencing it.
§ Contextual Usage
You'll often hear enciumar in situations involving romantic relationships, friendships, or even professional rivalries where one person's actions or successes cause envy in another. It carries a slightly negative connotation, implying that the act of causing jealousy might be intentional or at least has a negative effect.
Ela gosta de enciumar o namorado postando fotos com amigos. (She likes to make her boyfriend jealous by posting photos with friends.)
§ Summary of Key Points
- Main Use
- To cause someone to feel jealousy or envy.
- Grammar
- Transitive verb, takes a direct object (the person being made jealous). No special prepositions.
- Reflexive Form ('se enciumar')
- Means 'to get jealous' or 'to become jealous'.
By practicing with these examples and paying attention to the context, you'll be able to use enciumar accurately and effectively in your Portuguese conversations.
§ What Does "Enciumar" Mean?
- Definition
- To make jealous; to cause someone to feel envy or resentment.
The verb "enciumar" is super useful in Portuguese. It's about causing that feeling of jealousy or envy in someone else. Think of it as 'to make jealous'. It's not about being jealous yourself (that's "ter ciúmes" or "ficar com ciúmes"), but about the action of provoking that feeling in another person. This word often pops up in conversations about relationships, social dynamics, and sometimes even in more formal contexts when discussing competition or rivalries.
§ In Everyday Conversations
You'll hear "enciumar" a lot in casual chats, especially when people are talking about personal interactions or observations. It's a common way to describe how someone's actions or words might affect another person's feelings.
About relationships: This is probably the most frequent context. People talk about partners or friends making each other jealous.
Ela tentou enciumar o namorado conversando com outro cara. (She tried to make jealous her boyfriend by talking to another guy.)
Among friends or family: Sometimes, friendly competition or even unintentional acts can lead to someone feeling left out or envious.
Os pais não queriam enciumar um filho ao dar mais atenção ao outro. (The parents didn't want to make jealous one child by giving more attention to the other.)
§ In a Work or School Setting
While less common than in personal relationships, "enciumar" can still appear in professional or academic contexts, often in a metaphorical sense or when discussing team dynamics.
Competition among colleagues: If one colleague receives special recognition, it might cause envy among others.
A promoção rápida de um funcionário pode enciumar os outros membros da equipe. (The quick promotion of one employee can make jealous the other team members.)
Academic rivalry: Similar to work, in academic environments, achievements can sometimes provoke envy.

§ In News or Media
When reading news or articles, especially those focused on social commentary, politics, or celebrity gossip, you might encounter "enciumar" used to describe how actions or events stir up public sentiment or rivalries.
Political discourse: Sometimes politicians' actions are framed as attempts to create division or envy among different groups.
As novas políticas do governo podem enciumar a oposição. (The government's new policies could make jealous the opposition.)
Celebrity gossip: Naturally, reports on famous people often highlight rivalries or situations designed to make others envious.
A atriz postou fotos de suas férias de luxo para enciumar seus rivais. (The actress posted photos of her luxury vacation to make jealous her rivals.)
Understanding "enciumar" in these different contexts will really help you grasp the nuances of Portuguese conversations and media. It's a powerful word for describing how actions can impact emotions, particularly feelings of jealousy or envy. Keep an ear out for it, and you'll start noticing it everywhere!
§ Understanding "Enciumar"
The Portuguese verb "enciumar" (pronounced en-see-oo-MAR) means "to make jealous" or "to cause someone to feel envy or resentment." It's a useful word to know when discussing emotions and relationships. It specifically refers to the act of *causing* jealousy in another person, rather than feeling it yourself.
- DEFINITION
- To make jealous; to cause someone to feel envy or resentment.
§ How to Use "Enciumar"
You'll often see "enciumar" used in situations where one person's actions or words lead another person to feel jealous. It can be intentional or unintentional. It's a transitive verb, meaning it needs a direct object (the person being made jealous).
As fotos do seu sucesso podem enciumar seus amigos.
(The photos of your success can make your friends jealous.)
Ele tentou enciumar a namorada conversando com outras garotas.
(He tried to make his girlfriend jealous by talking to other girls.)
§ Similar Words and When to Use "Enciumar" vs. Alternatives
While "enciumar" is quite specific, there are other words and phrases in Portuguese that relate to jealousy and envy. Knowing the nuances will help you choose the right word for the right situation.
- Sentir ciúmes: This means "to feel jealous." This is how you express the *feeling* of jealousy. It's about the person experiencing the emotion.
Eu comecei a sentir ciúmes quando ele passou muito tempo com ela.
(I started to feel jealous when he spent a lot of time with her.)
- Ter inveja: This translates to "to be envious" or "to have envy." Envy is generally about desiring what someone else has, rather than feeling threatened by someone else's relationships.
Ela tem inveja do sucesso da irmã.
(She is envious of her sister's success.)
- Invejar: This is the verb "to envy." Similar to "ter inveja," but as a verb.
Muitos a invejam por sua beleza.
(Many envy her for her beauty.)
When to use "enciumar": You should use "enciumar" when you want to specifically convey the action of *making* someone else jealous. It's about the cause, not the effect on the person feeling it.
For example, if a friend is deliberately showing off their new car to provoke a reaction from you, they are trying to "enciumar" you. If you then feel bad about your own car, you would "sentir ciúmes" or "ter inveja."
Mastering these distinctions will make your Portuguese sound much more natural and precise. Pay attention to the context and what you want to emphasize – the act of causing the jealousy, or the feeling itself.

راهنمای تلفظ
- The 'ẽ' sound can be tricky for English speakers, as it's a nasal vowel. Practice making an 'eh' sound through your nose.
- The 'iu' diphthong should be pronounced as a quick glide from 'ee' to 'oo', not as two separate vowel sounds.
- The 'r' at the end of 'enciumar' is often a tapped 'r' in many Portuguese accents, similar to the 'tt' in American English 'butter'.

To 'irritate' is to annoy or anger, a broader emotion that might stem from jealousy but is not jealousy itself.

Often confused with general envy or jealousy. While related, 'ciúme' specifically refers to the feeling of jealousy, often in a romantic context or possessiveness.
Ciúme is the noun for jealousy. 'Envy' is 'inveja'.
Ele sente muito ciúme da namorada. (He feels a lot of jealousy for his girlfriend.)
Sometimes mistakenly used interchangeably with 'ciúme'. 'Inveja' is about desiring what someone else has, not necessarily about possessiveness or romantic jealousy.
Inveja is envy (wanting what others have). Ciúme is jealousy (fear of losing something you have, or possessiveness).
Sinto inveja do seu carro novo. (I envy your new car.)
Can be confused because it implies a protective or watchful attitude, which might seem similar to 'ciúme' in a protective sense. However, 'zelar' is positive and about caring, not possessiveness.
Zelar means to look after or care for, often with diligence. It doesn't carry the negative connotation of jealousy.
Você deve zelar pelos seus pertences. (You should look after your belongings.)
While 'enciumar' can lead to irritation, 'irritar' is a broader term for causing annoyance or anger. It doesn't specifically mean to make someone jealous.
Irritar means to irritate or annoy. Enciumar specifically means to make jealous.
O barulho me irrita. (The noise irritates me.)
To 'provoke' can sometimes lead to feelings of jealousy, but 'provocar' is a general term for instigating or causing a reaction, not specifically jealousy.
Provocar means to provoke or incite. Enciumar is to specifically make jealous.
Ele gosta de provocar o irmão. (He likes to provoke his brother.)
نحوه استفاده
Encíumar is a verb that describes the act of making someone jealous. It's often used reflexively (enciumar-se) to mean 'to become jealous'.
- Eu não queria enciumar a minha amiga, mas o meu novo carro é muito bonito. (I didn't want to make my friend jealous, but my new car is very nice.)
- Ele enciumou-se quando viu a ex-namorada com outro. (He became jealous when he saw his ex-girlfriend with someone else.)
- O elogio do chefe enciumou os outros colegas. (The boss's compliment made the other colleagues jealous.)
A common mistake is confusing encíumar with other verbs related to emotion. Remember that encíumar specifically means to cause jealousy or envy. Another mistake is to use it impersonally without a direct or indirect object. You need to specify who is being made jealous. Incorrect: Isso enciumou. (This made jealous.) Correct: Isso enciumou-o. (This made him jealous.)
