What's the difference between: उसे सलाद पसंद नहीं है and उसे सलाद नहीं पसंद है
नहीं means 'no' so it makes a negative sense..... And the उसे सलाद पसंद है means he/she likes salad
Because we're talking about what she likes, not what her salad likes.
उसे is equivalent to उस को, i.e. to her, not her possession.
The literal translation of the sentence is something close to 'To her, salad is not liked' because Hindi does not have a single verb for 'like'. उसे is 'to her'.
पसंद isn't a verb, so you can't say 'vah salad nehin pasandi' or something, if that's what you were imagining.
It's an adjective, so you have to describe the salad, as it is to her. That 'to her' gives you उसे.
I wrote उसको सलाद पसंद नहीं है and it was rejected. उसको is exactly the same as उसे so is there any reason for this?
Can anyone please clarify the difference between उसे and उसको here? Why उसको is not accepted as correct here?
They are interchangeable and उसको should have been accepted here. You can report if you see the sentence again.
Im confused in differentiating the gender like "usse" for girl and what do we use for boy
It's 'use' irrespective of gender. The Hindi sentence may also be translated as 'He does not like salad'.
If you use उन्हें instead of उसे, it will become 'They do not like salad'.

Could someone explain why in this sentence it is not acceptable to drop the "hai". There is a negative and a verb.
There is no verb (other than 'hai'). 'Pasand' is an adjective in Hindi.
