HATE　　　ひどく嫌う、大嫌い


When you dislike (don't like) something very strongly, you hate it.

Hate follows the same rules as "like" and "love": It can be followed by a noun, the "to" form of a verb, or the "-ing" form of a verb.

(Be careful: Because hate is such a strong word, we often say "don't like" instead, even when we mean hate.)

何かが大嫌いだと言いたいとき、hateという言葉を使います。hateは、likeやloveと同じように後ろに名詞、to＋動詞の原型、動詞の～ing形が来ます。

注意： hateはとても強い言葉なので、大嫌いだと言いたいときでもdon't likeを使うことが多いです。
