معنی
To strongly dislike someone or something.
زمینه فرهنگی
In Pakistani dramas, 'Nafrat' is a central theme, often used to drive the plot between feuding families. It is rarely used lightly in real-life social circles to avoid creating 'Fitna' (social discord). The word is often used in political slogans to protest against social injustice. 'Nafrat chhodo, Bharat jodo' (Leave hate, unite India) is a famous modern political slogan. Sufi poets often teach that one should hate the 'sin' or the 'ego' (Nafs), but not the person. This nuances the use of 'nafrat' in religious and philosophical Urdu literature. Young Urdu speakers often use English loanwords like 'hate' or 'dislike' to soften the intensity of 'Nafrat', which can feel too heavy or 'old-school' for casual topics.
The 'SE' Rule
Always remember 'SE'. You don't hate someone; you have hate 'from' them.
Too Strong?
Be careful using this with people. It's a very heavy word in Urdu culture.
