В чем разница между hate и hatred
Обновлено: 07.07.2024
Do you know if there is any difference between these two words: "hate" and "hatred"?
Is any of them stronger or used differently?

Hatred is only a noun. Hate is usually a verb.Senior Member
I reckon that when hate is used as a noun it's generally a more non-specific, slightly more abstract emotion, whereas hatred is usually directed at something more concrete:
My heart is filled with hate for all humanity
His hatred of his wife knew no bounds.
But I may be imagining this.

I don't think there's a difference between them or it might be the way Ewie has explained. But "hatred" sounds stronger to me.

Interesting that the words in the phrases 'race hate' and 'racial hatred' cannot be substituted.Ferrydog

A personal perception perhaps, but I think I have detected an increasing use of the noun 'hate' when in the past 'hatred' would have been used.
I would tend to use 'hate' as in the expression 'vinegar is a pet hate of mine'. To express this slightly differently : 'I have a hatred of vinegar'. I would not feel comfortable swapping 'hate' and 'hatred' around in these expressions, yet they are both clearly nouns.
Anyone else noticed this evolutionary change ?

Most likely due to the inescapable comparison with love. Its four letters and single syllable make it easier to substitute directly (or tattoo on your knuckles).

I agree with Ewie, in that it seems "hate" is being used these days to signify a more abstract, broad emotion. I found myself using it in this way and actually stumbled upon this thread because I had the same question! I agree with Ferrydog as well that there is an evolutionary change going on.
I'm wondering if it has anything to do with colloquial terms like "haters" and "hating [on]" ?
("haters gonna hate" ; "why are all these people hating on Insane Clown Posse?" ; "stop being a hater")
Maybe the natural tendency given these common adaptations is to want to make "hate" a noun. That's what I've found my thought process to be, at least.
"Hate" is used in all of the compounds, like "hate speech" and so on. You can't use "hatred" in any of those cases.
"Hate" can mean "acts of hatred" or "hateful sentiments", while "hatred" is sort of more like "the concept of hate".
For example, you can say "She received a lot of hate from people", but not "hatred" in that case. However, you can say "Hatred is a bad thing". (You can also say "hate is a bad thing".)
There are probably more nuances, but those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
