[edit] French
[edit] Etymology
From Frankish *hatjan, from Germanic ( > English hate).
[edit] Pronunciation
[edit] Verb
haïr
- (transitive) To hate.
[edit] Usage notes
- Unlike in most of French words beginning with a vowel or h, this verb does not elide the vowels or the h if they precede this verb, i.e. "I hate you" is je te hais, not je t'hais.
[edit] Conjugation
- This verb is spelled as if conjugated like finir, but has a diaeresis throughout its conjugation (including where the circumflex would normally be used) except in the singular indicative present, whose forms are pronounced /ɛ/ in Standard French instead of /ai/, a pronunciation nonetheless often found in informal speech.
