مجھے نفرت ہے
mujhe nafrat hai
مجھے نفرت ہے (mujhe nafrat hai) is the Urdu phrase for "I hate".
This phrase is used to express a strong feeling of dislike or hatred toward someone or something.
What does it mean word for word?
The phrase is literally constructed as "to me hatred is", where mujhe means "to me", nafrat means "hatred" and hai means "is".
How does it change in a sentence?
To express the feeling, Urdu uses the dative case mujhe (to me) rather than the direct subject main (I). When you specify the object of your hatred, you must use the postposition سے (se) after the noun, which translates to "from" in English. For example, to say "I hate him/her/it", you would say مجھے اس سے نفرت ہے (mujhe us se nafrat hai).
How do you pronounce it?
mujhe nafrat hai
Did you know?
- While نفرت is used for hatred, Urdu has a separate, distinct word for 'loathing' or 'disgust', گھن (ghin), which describes a physical sensation of repulsion rather than an emotional hatred.
- The word نفرت ('hatred') was not native to Urdu but was borrowed from Classical Persian and originally traces back to Arabic.
- Because Urdu borrows heavily from Persian and Arabic, the word نفرت can be used in a more poetic or dramatic sense in literature than in daily conversation, where simpler terms are preferred.
