Does the word proud exist in Chinese?
I know this is gonna get closed because it's more philosophical in nature but it's something that's brought up (subtle Asian traits, if curious)
the word proud is rarely used in Chinese culture and so does such a word truly exist in Chinese?
骄傲: proud
自豪: proud
而荣 (?) (why does this mean proud? dictionary entries don't mention this)
Sentences for "I'm proud of you:"
我以你为荣
我为你感到骄傲
我为你而荣

Not really. If you check the meaning of 傲 and all the associate proverb, it is not rare. Indeed, the more normal translation of "proud of someone" is 引以为傲, 以某某为敖。
And many other associated word for proud you will rarely encounter in daily life usage , e.g.
- 傲骨 ， 傲气
Some is neutral
- 傲岸 haughty
- 傲视 despise
傲 also used negatively in following case
- 傲慢 arrogant
