Jalousies

Description

Jalousies can refer to two different things: a type of window or a feeling of jealousy. In the context of windows, jalousies are a type of window with horizontally or vertically arranged glass or wooden slats that can open and close like blinds. They are typically used in warm climates to allow for ventilation while still providing some privacy. In terms of emotions, jalousies refer to the feeling of envy or possessiveness towards someone else.
