Did you know?
- In Polish, you can express an extreme lack of affection by saying nie tknąłbym go kijem, which translates to 'I wouldn't touch him with a stick'. This serves as a common idiomatic alternative to saying you hate someone.
- If a Pole wants to express a hatred that has turned into total indifference, they might use the word obojętność. To a native speaker, saying they are 'indifferent' to someone can be more insulting than saying nienawidzę.
- In Polish, the verb nienawidzić is often paired with the word szczerze, meaning 'sincerely', to create the phrase szczerze nienawidzę. This emphasizes the depth of the hate in a way that sounds more formal than a simple outburst.
