When you really, really don't like something or someone, you can use the word hata in Swedish. It's a strong word, similar to 'hate' in English. For example, if you don't like cold weather at all, you might say 'Jag hatar kyla.' Or if there's a type of food you absolutely can't stand, you could say 'Jag hatar [that food].' It's good to know, but remember it's a very strong feeling.
When you're speaking Swedish, you'll find that 'hata' is a strong verb. It's used just like 'hate' in English to express a very strong negative feeling towards something or someone. Remember, it's not a casual dislike; it implies a deep-seated aversion. Using this word indicates a significant emotional response.
When discussing preferences or aversions in Swedish, you'll often encounter verbs that express liking or disliking. While you might know "gilla" (to like), "hata" is its strong opposite, meaning to hate or to detest.
It's a regular -ar verb, but in Swedish, it functions much like the English "to hate." For instance, you can hate a person, an object, or an activity. Just like in English, using "hata" implies a very strong negative feeling.
You'll often see it used when people want to emphasize a deep aversion to something. While less formal alternatives exist, "hata" is direct and unambiguous when expressing intense dislike.
When discussing advanced vocabulary at the C2 level, it's important to differentiate between strong negative emotions. While 'hata' directly translates to 'hate' and signifies intense dislike, a C2 learner might explore its nuances compared to other verbs.
Consider verbs like 'avsky' (to detest, abhor) which conveys an even stronger, often moral, repulsion. Another related verb is 'förakta' (to despise, scorn), suggesting a feeling of looking down on something or someone.
Understanding the subtle differences allows for more precise and impactful expression. For example, one might 'hata' a certain type of food, but 'avsky' an injustice. 'Förakta' could be used for someone's character or actions.
Therefore, while 'hata' is a powerful word, a C2 learner should be able to navigate the spectrum of negative emotions with a broader vocabulary to convey the exact intensity and nature of their dislike.

§ Understanding 'hata'
The Swedish verb 'hata' means 'to hate' or 'to feel intense dislike'. It's a regular 'ar' verb, which means it follows a predictable pattern for conjugation. It's an important word to know, even if you hope you don't have to use it too often!
- DEFINITION
- feel intense dislike
§ Basic Conjugation of 'hata'
Here's how 'hata' changes depending on the tense:
- Infinitive: hata (to hate)
- Present Tense: hatar (hate/hates/am hating/is hating/are hating)
- Past Tense (Preteritum): hatade (hated)
- Supine (used with 'har' for perfect tense): hatat (hated)
- Imperative: hata! (hate!)
As you can see, it's quite straightforward. The 'ar' ending in the present tense is common for many Swedish verbs.
§ How to Use 'hata' with Nouns and Pronouns
You use 'hata' directly with the object of your dislike. There are no tricky prepositions involved here. It's just like in English: subject + 'hata' + object.
Jag hatar spindlar. (I hate spiders.)
Han hatar att städa. (He hates to clean.)
Vi hatar kyla. (We hate cold.)
§ Using 'hata' in Questions
To form a question with 'hata', you simply reverse the subject and the verb, just like with most other verbs in Swedish.
Hatar du att laga mat? (Do you hate cooking?)
Hatar hon sin chef? (Does she hate her boss?)
§ 'hata' in Negative Sentences
For negative sentences, you place 'inte' (not) directly after 'hata'.
Jag hatar inte att plugga. (I don't hate studying.)
De hatar inte varandra. (They don't hate each other.)
§ Practice Using 'hata'
The best way to get comfortable with 'hata' is to use it. Try making your own sentences about things you really dislike. This will help you remember the conjugation and sentence structure naturally.
- What do you 'hata' (hate)?
- What did you 'hatade' (hated) as a child?
Don't be afraid to try it out! Swedish is a language of practice.
§ Hata: Not Always As Strong As "Hate"
The Swedish verb "hata" can be a bit tricky for English speakers because it directly translates to "to hate." While it certainly can mean intense dislike, just like in English, Swedes often use it in contexts where English speakers might use slightly softer terms like "dislike strongly," "can't stand," or "detest." This can lead to some misunderstandings if you're not aware of the nuance.
§ Mistake 1: Overusing "Hata" for Mild Dislikes
A common mistake is using "hata" for things you only mildly dislike. In English, you might say "I hate Mondays," but in Swedish, if you only slightly dislike Mondays, "hata" might sound a bit too strong. Swedes tend to be less hyperbolic in their everyday language.
- DEFINITION
- Using "hata" for minor annoyances or preferences.
Instead of saying "Jag hatar att städa" (I hate cleaning) if you just find it a bit boring, you might use an expression that conveys a weaker sense of dislike.
Better alternatives:
- "Jag gillar inte att städa." (I don't like cleaning.)
- "Jag är inte så förtjust i att städa." (I'm not so keen on cleaning.)
- "Jag tycker att städa är tråkigt." (I think cleaning is boring.)
Jag hatar när det regnar på sommaren.
I hate when it rains in the summer. (This is generally acceptable, as it implies a strong dislike for a particular inconvenience.)
§ Mistake 2: Confusing "Hata" with "Sakna"
This is a completely different word, but the concept of missing something can sometimes be confused, especially for new learners. "Sakna" means "to miss" or "to lack." You cannot "hata" someone you miss; you "sakna" them.
- DEFINITION
- Using "hata" when you mean "to miss" someone or something.
Jag saknar min familj när jag är bortrest.
I miss my family when I'm away.
§ Mistake 3: Forgetting Object Pronouns with "Hata"
When you "hata" a person, you need to use the correct object pronoun. This is a general grammar point, but it's important with verbs like "hata" where the target of the emotion is a person.
- DEFINITION
- Incorrectly using subject pronouns instead of object pronouns after "hata" when referring to people.
Correct: Jag hatar honom. (I hate him.)
Incorrect: Jag hatar han.
Hon hatar det. (She hates it.)
Vi hatar er. (We hate you all/you plural.)
Always make sure to use the correct object pronoun (mig, dig, honom, henne, den, det, oss, er, dem) after "hata" when the object is a person or specific item.
§ Mistake 4: Using "Hata" with "Att" for Nouns
In Swedish, when you hate an activity, you use "att" + the infinitive verb. However, when you hate a noun, you just use the noun. Do not put "att" before a noun.
- DEFINITION
- Incorrectly using "att" before a noun after "hata."
Correct: Jag hatar spindlar. (I hate spiders.)
Incorrect: Jag hatar att spindlar.
De hatar orättvisor.
They hate injustice.
However, if you're expressing dislike for an action, then "att" is necessary:
Jag hatar att vänta.
I hate to wait / waiting.
The key is to distinguish between hating an object (noun) and hating an action (verb). If it's an action, use "att" + infinitive. If it's a noun, just use the noun.
How Formal Is It?
"Jag avskyr orättvisa. (I detest injustice.)"
"Jag ogillar att vara ensam. (I dislike being alone.)"
"Jag hatar måndagar. (I hate Mondays.)"
"Jag tycker illa om broccoli. (I don't like broccoli.)"
"Asså jag hatar det! (Like, I hate it so much!)"

Como usar
Hata is a regular -ar verb in Swedish. The present tense is hatar, and the past tense is hatade. When you hate something, you can say Jag hatar X. When you hate doing something, you can say Jag hatar att göra X.
A common mistake is using 'hata' too broadly. While it means 'to hate', it's often stronger than how 'hate' might be used casually in English. For example, instead of saying Jag hatar måndagar (I hate Mondays), it might be more natural to say Jag gillar inte måndagar (I don't like Mondays).
Dicas
Basic use of 'hata'
The most common way to use 'hata' is to express hatred or strong dislike towards something or someone. For example, 'Jag hatar spindlar.' (I hate spiders.)
Don't confuse with 'ogilla'
'Hata' is much stronger than 'ogilla' (to dislike). Use 'hata' for intense negative feelings, and 'ogilla' for general dislike or not liking something. For example, 'Jag ogillar kaffe.' (I dislike coffee.)
Use with 'att' for verbs
When you want to say you hate doing something, use 'att' before the verb in its infinitive form. For example, 'Jag hatar att städa.' (I hate to clean / I hate cleaning.)
Can be used for abstract concepts
You can use 'hata' for abstract ideas or situations, not just people or things. For example, 'Jag hatar orättvisor.' (I hate injustices.)
Common phrases with 'hata'
A common phrase is 'Jag hatar det.' (I hate it.) or 'Jag hatar dig.' (I hate you.). Be careful with 'jag hatar dig' as it is a very strong and serious statement.
Strong emotion word
'Hata' carries a very strong negative emotion. Use it sparingly and appropriately. Overusing it can make your language seem extreme or insincere.
Swedish directness
Swedes can be quite direct, but 'hata' is still a strong word. It's generally reserved for genuine strong dislike, not casual annoyance.
Opposite of 'älska'
The opposite of 'hata' (to hate) is 'älska' (to love). This can help you remember the intensity of the word. For example, 'Jag älskar sommaren.' (I love summer.)
Practice with sentences
Try writing a few sentences about things you genuinely 'hata' and things you 'ogilla' to get a feel for the difference in strength.
Figurative use (less common)
While less common than in English, 'hata' can sometimes be used figuratively, similar to 'I hate to bother you...' However, for A2 level, focus on its literal meaning of strong dislike.

Choose the most appropriate synonym for 'hata' in the context of strong personal aversion, considering nuances of disgust and contempt.
'Avsky' implies a strong feeling of disgust and aversion, often stronger than 'hata' in certain contexts, aligning with an intense personal dislike at a C2 level. 'Ogilla' is too mild. 'Förarga' means to annoy. 'Misstycka' means to disapprove.
In a philosophical discussion about the nature of human emotions, which of the following best describes the existential impact of 'hata' when directed at an abstract concept or ideology?
At a C2 level, 'hata' can extend beyond personal targets to abstract concepts, generating profound existential distress and alienation, not mere irritation or mild distaste. The other options describe less intense or consequential feelings.
Which of the following phrases most accurately conveys a nuanced, almost poetic, expression of 'hata' as an enduring, almost inherent part of one's being, rather than a fleeting emotion?
This option uses evocative language ('etsat sig fast i själen' - etched itself into the soul) to describe 'hata' as a deep-seated, persistent emotion, aligning with the C2 expectation of nuanced expression. The other options describe transient or less profound feelings.
The phrase 'att hata på' is a commonly accepted, formal idiom in Swedish literature for expressing profound animosity.
'Att hata på' is an informal, more contemporary expression often associated with social media or colloquial speech, not formal literary usage for profound animosity at a C2 level. Formal expressions would use 'hata' directly or more sophisticated synonyms.
In a legal context, 'hatbrott' (hate crime) refers exclusively to crimes motivated by hatred based on religious beliefs.
A 'hatbrott' (hate crime) encompasses crimes motivated by hatred based on various factors such as race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, disability, and gender identity, not exclusively religious beliefs. This is a crucial distinction at a C2 level.
Expressing 'hata' is always considered a direct and unequivocal declaration of strong negative emotion without any underlying psychological complexities in Swedish cultural understanding.
At a C2 level, one recognizes that expressing 'hata' can often be laden with psychological complexities, social implications, and cultural nuances that go beyond a simple, direct negative declaration. It can signify deep-seated issues, trauma, or a reaction to perceived injustice, rather than always being unequivocal.
The correct order is 'Jag hatar verkligen tidiga morgnar' (I really hate early mornings). The adverb 'verkligen' (really) comes after the verb.
The correct order is 'Hon kan inte tänka sig att hata' (She can't imagine hating). 'Tänka sig' is a reflexive verb phrase meaning 'to imagine'.
The correct order is 'De skulle inte hata det' (They would not hate it). 'Skulle' is a modal verb indicating 'would'.

- Strong dislike
- Feeling animosity
- To detest
Basic use of 'hata'
The most common way to use 'hata' is to express hatred or strong dislike towards something or someone. For example, 'Jag hatar spindlar.' (I hate spiders.)
Don't confuse with 'ogilla'
'Hata' is much stronger than 'ogilla' (to dislike). Use 'hata' for intense negative feelings, and 'ogilla' for general dislike or not liking something. For example, 'Jag ogillar kaffe.' (I dislike coffee.)
Use with 'att' for verbs
When you want to say you hate doing something, use 'att' before the verb in its infinitive form. For example, 'Jag hatar att städa.' (I hate to clean / I hate cleaning.)

You can use 'hata' for abstract ideas or situations, not just people or things. For example, 'Jag hatar orättvisor.' (I hate injustices.)
