What is 'Hate the French' in Italian?

Answer 1

Odio is an Italian equivalent of the English word "hate."

Specifically, the Italian word is a masculine noun. Its singular definite article l'* means "the." The pronunciation is "OH-dyoh."

*The article actually is il. But the vowel i drops before a noun that begins with a vowel. The temporary nature of that drop is indicated by an apostrophe immediately after the remaining letter l in the article and immediately before the first letter in the following noun.

Answer 2

Odia [or Detesta] i francesi is an English equivalent of 'Hate the French'. The words in Italian are pronounced 'OH-dee-ah [or deh-TEH-stah] ee frahn-CHEH-say'. The imperatives 'odia' and 'detesta' mean '[you] hate, detest', with the first word in Italian more extreme than the second. The masculine definite article 'i' means 'the'. The masculine adjective/noun 'francesi' means 'French'.

But an applicable saying here is 'amare è meglio que odiare'. The words in Italian are pronounced 'ah-MAH-ray eh MEH-lyoh kay oh-DYAH-ray'. The infinitive 'amare' means 'to love'. The verb 'è' means '[he/she/it] is'. The adverb 'meglio' and the interrogative/relative 'che' combine to mean 'better than'. The infinitive 'odiare' means 'to hate'.
