"To nie strach, to nienawiść."

Translation: This is not fear, this is hatred.

[Ally_October]

...and we all know what hatred leads to.

The only reason Luke was able to beat Vader and defeat the Emperor. Evil, the Jedi are; a cult they are. Balance there must be.

What a coincidence! I was thinking about Star Wars. It like a quote from that.

[Gabriela-Izabela]

When someone asks you to define homophobia...

[Jack.Elliot]

There is no fear, there is hatred

[va-diim]

RU: Eto nie strach, eto nienawist'.--accent on the first syllable

[plastoquinone]

If "strach" is "fear," is there also another word for fear that is related to the verb in "bać się?"

[Jellei]

There's "bojaźń", but it's rather bookish, or used in religious context. Also, it's not exactly a synonym, it seems to be a rather different type of fear... but I'm afraid I don't know how to explain it.

Kind of disappointed that the sound of 'nienawiść' does not really come close to its meaning (at least according to my non-native ears and mind) like it does in English or even better German ('Hass' where the 's' sound resembles that of a snake wanting to scare you away). :D

[chce_polski]

Niemcy miedzy 39 do 45

[Jellei]

Either "między 39 a 45" or "od 39 do 45".

Or possibly "między 39 i 45", I guess.

What is the origin of this word, "nie na widzieć" not to see? How did this come to mean hatred, or am I barking up the wrong tree?

[Jellei]

It used to mean "to not want to see someone" centuries ago. "nawidzić" was a verb (now non-existent) that meant "to want to see someone" or even "to love someone".

Please note that the infinitive is "nienawidzić", although "nienawidzieć" used to be correct as well.

Thanks, I just checked Google translate for several other Slavic languages and it sounds similar in all (east, west & south) so it must have a very old origin.
