la odio
/la odjo/from spelling rules
The English phrase "I hate her" is translated into Spanish as la odio.
This phrase is used to express a strong feeling of dislike or animosity toward a female person. You might also use No la soporto to convey that you have a complete lack of tolerance towards her.
Which one should you use?
If you want to express your dislike in different ways, you can change the phrasing: Siento una gran antipatía hacia ella is a formal method to state strong dislike, whereas Me cae fatal is a colloquial way to express deep dislike. No la soporto is used specifically to say you cannot stand her.
Did you know?
- The colloquialism Me cae fatal mentioned elsewhere is actually a way of saying she 'falls' on you poorly, using the verb 'caer' (to fall) to describe a bad social connection.
- In some Spanish-speaking cultures, saying la odio can be used hyperbolically between close friends to describe a playful rivalry.
- The verb soportar in no la soporto means 'to support' or 'to bear', making the phrase literally mean that the person's presence is a weight too heavy to carry.
