DOWRY & BRIDE PRICE DIFFERENCE
I think the main issue isn’t really about inggit or something…but about the different meanings of dowry and bride price in Chinese culture. The money given by the groom or his family is the bride price, while dowry can involve an exchange of money and gifts between the bride’s and groom’s families, meant to support the couple’s new beginning. So I think doon nagkakaroon ng misunderstanding. Different expectations about what the money and gifts represent and who should give what. Kaya minsan yung mga wives na alam ang difference ng dalawang ‘to is nagkakaron ng reaction about these things na namimis interpret ng iba and labeling it as “inggit”.
翻译：彩礼和嫁妆的区别
我认为，主要问题其实并不是“嫉妒”之类的情绪，而是大家对中国文化中“彩礼”和“嫁妆”的理解不同。
男方或男方家庭给女方的钱，属于彩礼；而嫁妆则可能涉及男女双方家庭之间的钱财和礼物往来，主要是为了帮助新人开始婚后的生活。
所以，我认为误解往往就是从这里产生的。大家对这些钱和礼物代表什么，以及应该由谁来给、给多少，有着不同的理解和期待。
因此，有些了解彩礼和嫁妆区别的妻子，在看到类似事情时会有自己的反应，但这些反应有时会被其他人误解，甚至被贴上“嫉妒”的标签。
