Questions & Answers about औरत को ठंडे खाने से नफरत है।

What does each word in औरत को ठंडे खाने से नफरत है do?

A word-by-word breakdown is:

• औरत = woman
• को = a postposition here marking the experiencer, the person who has the feeling
• ठंडे = cold, in the oblique form
• खाने = food / meal, also in the oblique form
• से = with / toward / from, the postposition used with नफरत
• नफरत = hatred
• है = is

A very literal sense is:

• To the woman, there is hatred toward cold food

Natural English is:

• The woman hates cold food

Why is को used after औरत?

Because Hindi often marks the person experiencing a feeling or state with को.

With नफरत होना, the pattern is:

• X को Y से नफरत है

So in this sentence:

• औरत को = the woman is the experiencer
• She is the one who feels the hatred

This is similar to other Hindi patterns where English uses a normal subject, but Hindi uses को:

• मुझे चाय पसंद है = I like tea
• उसे डर है = He/She is afraid

So को here does not mean to in a simple directional sense. It marks who has the feeling.
