My question is "I hate" the same meaning as "I don't like"? or different meaning, so please explain that to me.

Someone said, "hate" is like revenge, right?. "hate" is a strong word.

Hate has a lot more anger involve, than just disliking.
 
I hate and I don't like means the same thing, but these two words just describe differently on how people feel. For example, hate is more a strong negative feelings than "I don't like you". :)

Therefore it does not mean the same. Hate is a stronger feeling than just disliking.

Don't just take words out of context, I also added that hate is more a strong negative feelings than "I don't like you". :ty:

All I stated that both means the same, but in a different way.
 
You know when someone said, "I hate you" it could hurt her feeling or his feeling. but "I don't like you" also hurt her or his feeling too. It's the same feeling for both word "I hate" and "I don't like".

:hmm: interesting

Right exactly. ;)
 
You can dislike a person, but not hate them.

I see your point.

They have similar meanings, but doesn't mean they are the same.
 
'hate" and "dislike" both seem to have same reaction as anger?.
 
I still think hate is a much stronger word than disliking.

When someone hates someone is is usually involves more anger and rage.

Disliking is more simply not liking the person but you don't HATE them.

Hate to me is an ugly word.

simple as that.
 
You're welcome too. :wave: Oh wait, I didn't get a thank you. :giggle:
 
In general:

"Hate" is a more active feeling against someone.

"Don't like" is a more passive feeling about someone.


"Hate" means someone wants something bad to happen to the other person.

"Don't like" means someone doesn't care what happens to the other person.



It's even possible to love someone that one doesn't "like". We can love family members--that is, we take care of them and want good things to happen for them--without "liking" them. That means, we love them but we don't enjoy spending time with them. But we don't want bad things to happen to them.

My opinion.

Now this is getting complicated.

You can dislike a person and still care about that person and still worry about their welfare.

and hating a person does not mean wishing evil on that person. You just wish not to be around or really care for the person at the time.

That would be "don't like" the person, not hate.
