Did you know?
- Unlike English, where 'hate' is a strong verb, using 싫어 in a social context can sometimes be a flirtatious or 'tsundere' way of hiding one's true feelings of affection.
- While 싫어 translates as 'hate' or 'dislike', it is often used as a childish or stubborn way to say 'no' or 'I don't want to' when refusing a request.
- Using the formal 저는 모두를 싫어합니다 to say you hate everyone creates a humorous or 'cringe' effect, as the extreme politeness clashes with the extreme negativity of the sentiment.
