Usage notes

[edit]

In Russian, тщеславный and тщеславие refer to a general sense of self-importance, ambition, and desire for personal glory. They are not used in the sense of "excessive pride or preoccupation with one's personal appearance," which is the sense in which "vain" and "vanity" are most often used in English.
