10 ways to say “I hate you” in Spanish

This is one that we hope you never need to use. (We have had a whole article on I love you in Spanish, and that’s way more fun!). But who knows, there may come a situation where you just have to say I hate you in Spanish. After all, you won’t love everyone that you meet!

  • I hate you – Te odio
  • I hate you – Te detesto
  • I despise you – Te desprecio

Is hate too strong a word? Here are a few slightly “gentler” ways of implying that you hate someone in Spanish, without coming outright and saying it:

  • Leave me alone – Déjame en paz
  • You’re the worst! – ¡Eres el/la peor!
  • I don’t like you – No me gustas
  • I am not a big fan of you… – No soy un gran admirador tuyo…
