Questions & Answers about otouto wa yasai o taberuno o iyagaru node, haha wa suupu ni irete dashimasu.

Why is there a の after 食べる in 食べるのを嫌がる?

Here の turns the verb phrase 野菜を食べる into a noun-like unit.

• 野菜を食べる = to eat vegetables
• 野菜を食べるの = the act of eating vegetables

That lets the whole phrase become the thing that is disliked:

• 野菜を食べるのを嫌がる = to dislike / resist eating vegetables

This の is called a nominalizer. In many cases, こと can also nominalize a verb, but の is very common in everyday speech, especially for concrete actions.

Why are there two を particles in 野菜を食べるのを嫌がる?

They belong to different parts of the sentence.

1. 野菜を食べる

   • 野菜を marks vegetables as the object of eat

2. 食べるのを嫌がる

   • 食べるのを marks the act of eating as the object of 嫌がる

So the structure is:

• [野菜を食べる] のを 嫌がる
• [eating vegetables] is what he resists/dislikes

This can feel strange in English because Japanese allows one object phrase to contain another.
