Using 'Le' or 'Lo' Incorrectly

Since 'odia' is the 'él/ella/usted' form, we know the subject is a single person (he, she, or formal you). In Spanish, you usually don't need to state 'él' or 'ella' if the context is clear.

Identifying the Subject

If someone hates doing an action, the second verb must be in its base form (infinitive): 'Odia cocinar' (She hates cooking).

Using 'Odiar' with Other Verbs

Use 'odiar' only for strong feelings. For simple dislike, use 'no le gusta' ('He/She doesn't like it').

Emotional Intensity

A very common verb form used to express strong negative feeling or aversion.
