Questions & Answers about Я ненавижу ложь.

Why is ненавижу translated as I hate? What form is it?

Ненавижу is the 1st person singular form of the verb ненавидеть (to hate).

So:

• ненавидеть = to hate
• я ненавижу = I hate

This is a present-tense form, but with a verb like to hate, English also normally uses the simple present: I hate.

A few other forms of the same verb are:

• я ненавижу = I hate
• ты ненавидишь = you hate
• он / она ненавидит = he / she hates
• мы ненавидим = we hate

One thing learners often notice is that the stem changes a little:

• ненавидеть → ненавижу

That change is just part of how this verb conjugates.

Why is ложь written like that? Shouldn’t the object be in the accusative case?
