Μισώ τον θόρυβο.

A good approximation is:

mee-SO ton THO-ree-vo

More precisely: [miˈso ton ˈθorivo]

A few sound notes:

• θ sounds like th in think
• ρ is a Greek r, usually a light tap
• υ here sounds like ee
• The stress falls on -σώ in μισώ and on θό- in θόρυβο

So the rhythm is:

μι-ΣΩ τον ΘΟ-ρυ-βο

• Μισώ = verb, I hate
• τον = the, masculine singular accusative article
• θόρυβο = noise, masculine singular accusative noun

So structurally it is:

verb + object

Greek often allows different word orders, but this is the neutral one here.

Because θόρυβο is the direct object of the verb μισώ.

In Greek, the subject is usually in the nominative case, but the direct object is usually in the accusative case.

So:

• ο θόρυβος = the noise as a subject
• τον θόρυβο = the noise as an object

Compare:

• Ο θόρυβος είναι δυνατός. = The noise is loud.
• Μισώ τον θόρυβο. = I hate the noise / noise.

The dictionary form is θόρυβος.

That is the nominative singular form, which is the form dictionaries usually give.

Here is the pattern:

• ο θόρυβος = nominative singular
• τον θόρυβο = accusative singular

This is a very common pattern for masculine nouns ending in -ος:

• nominative singular: -ος
• accusative singular: -ο

Because Greek verb endings usually already show the subject.

Μισώ by itself already means I hate.

So Greek often leaves out subject pronouns when they are not needed:

• Μισώ = I hate
• Μισείς = you hate
• Μισεί = he/she/it hates

You can add εγώ if you want emphasis or contrast:

• Εγώ μισώ τον θόρυβο. = I hate noise / I’m the one who hates noise

It is present tense, first person singular.

So grammatically it means I hate.

In Greek, the present tense can describe:

• a general fact
• a habitual feeling
• a current state

Here it most naturally expresses a general feeling: I hate noise.

Because Greek uses the definite article more often than English, especially with generic or abstract nouns.

So:

• Μισώ τον θόρυβο is a natural Greek way to say I hate noise
• English often leaves out the article in this kind of sentence, but Greek often keeps it

This happens in many similar cases:

• Μου αρέσει ο καφές. = I like coffee
• Δεν αντέχω τη ζέστη. = I can’t stand the heat

So don’t try to match article usage word-for-word from English.

You may hear article-less nouns in some contexts, but Μισώ τον θόρυβο is the safer, more standard choice for a learner.

Without the article, Μισώ θόρυβο can sound less neutral and more context-dependent. Greek often prefers the article in broad statements like this.

So if you want a natural general sentence, use:

Μισώ τον θόρυβο.

Yes. Greek word order is more flexible than English.

The neutral order here is:

• Μισώ τον θόρυβο.

But you can also say:

• Τον θόρυβο μισώ.

That version puts extra emphasis on τον θόρυβο, as if contrasting it with something else.

For ordinary use, the original order is the best one to learn first.

They show which syllable is stressed.

• μισώ → stress on the last syllable
• θόρυβο → stress on the first syllable

Stress matters in Greek pronunciation, so the written accents are important.

Notice that τον has no written accent because it is a one-syllable unstressed function word in normal spelling.

Yes, μισώ is quite strong.

So Μισώ τον θόρυβο clearly means a strong dislike of noise.

If you want something softer, Greek often uses expressions like:

• Δεν μου αρέσει ο θόρυβος. = I don’t like noise.
• Δεν αντέχω τον θόρυβο. = I can’t stand the noise.

So μισώ is correct, but it is definitely strong in tone.
