هو يكره المطر بشدة.

A word-by-word breakdown is:

• هو = he
• يكره = hates / dislikes
• المطر = the rain
• بشدة = strongly / intensely / very much

So structurally, it is:

• هو → subject
• يكره → verb
• المطر → direct object
• بشدة → adverbial expression describing the intensity of the hatred

Yes. In Arabic, the verb يكره already tells you the subject is he.

So يكره المطر بشدة can already mean He hates rain intensely.

Adding هو can do a few things:

• make the sentence clearer
• sound more explicit
• add slight emphasis or contrast, as in he hates rain

In many contexts, Arabic drops subject pronouns unless there is a reason to include them.

يكره is in the imperfect form, which often corresponds to:

• present: he hates
• habitual/general meaning: he hates
• sometimes future, depending on context or particles

In this sentence, the natural reading is a general present meaning: He hates rain intensely.

Arabic does not map exactly onto English tenses, so the imperfect can cover several ideas that English separates more strictly.

المطر literally means the rain, but in Arabic, generic nouns are often expressed with the definite article.

So يكره المطر naturally means:

• he hates rain
• or literally he hates the rain

In English, we usually say rain without the when speaking generally. Arabic often prefers ال in these generic statements.

So this is normal and idiomatic.

Because كره / يكره is a transitive verb. It can take a direct object directly.

So:

• يكره المطر = he hates rain

There is no need for a preposition like to or from here.

This is similar to English hate:

• He hates rain not
• He hates from rain

بشدة is an adverbial expression meaning:

• strongly
• intensely
• severely
• in context, very much

It is made from:

• بـ = a preposition often meaning with / in
• شدة = intensity / strength / severity

So literally, بشدة is something like with intensity.

Arabic often uses prepositional phrases where English uses a simple adverb.

So:

• يكره المطر بشدة = He intensely hates rain / He hates rain very much

Yes, but the nuance is a little different.

• هو يكره المطر جدًا = He hates rain very much
• هو يكره المطر بشدة = He hates rain intensely / strongly

Both are correct and natural.

A rough difference:

• جدًا = very
• بشدة = intensely, strongly

So بشدة sounds a bit stronger and more vivid.

In fully vocalized Modern Standard Arabic, it would normally be:

هُوَ يَكْرَهُ الْمَطَرَ بِشِدَّةٍ

Here is why:

• هُوَ: independent pronoun
• يَكْرَهُ: indicative mood, so it ends in ـُ
• الْمَطَرَ: direct object, so it is accusative
• بِشِدَّةٍ: after a preposition, so it is genitive

In ordinary writing, these short vowel endings are usually not written, so you normally see:

هو يكره المطر بشدة

Arabic allows more than one word order.

This sentence uses subject + verb + object:

• هو يكره المطر بشدة

But Arabic also often uses verb + subject + object, or simply omits the pronoun if the verb already makes the subject clear:

• يكره المطر بشدة

That is also correct.

A few quick notes:

• هو يكره المطر بشدة = explicit he
• يكره المطر بشدة = very natural, less explicit
• putting هو after the verb is usually for special emphasis or contrast

So the chosen order is correct and common, especially in teaching examples.

It comes from the root ك ر ه which is connected with dislike, hatred, or aversion.

From this root you get words such as:

• كَرِهَ = he hated / disliked
• يَكْرَهُ = he hates / dislikes
• كُرْه or كَراهية = hatred, dislike

Knowing the root helps you recognize related vocabulary across different forms.

A careful pronunciation is approximately:

yak-ra-hu

More precisely:

• يَ = ya
• كْ = k with no vowel after it
• رَ = ra
• هُ = hu

So the whole form is يَكْرَهُ.

A common learner issue is trying to insert too many vowels. Keep the middle part compact: yak-ra-hu, not ya-ka-ra-hu.

Yes.

• هو يكره المطر = He hates rain

This is already a complete sentence.

Adding بشدة just gives extra information about degree or intensity.

So:

• without بشدة → complete basic statement
• with بشدة → stronger, more descriptive statement

In MSA, the simplest negation is with لا:

هو لا يكره المطر بشدة
= He does not hate rain intensely

If you want to negate the whole idea more naturally in some contexts, you might choose a different wording depending on what exactly you mean:

• هو لا يكره المطر = He does not hate rain
• هو لا يكره المطر كثيرًا = He does not hate rain very much

So لا is the key basic negation particle for the present/imperfect here.
