"Bira içmekten nefret ediyorum."

Translation: I hate drinking beer.

[Ahmed2.15]

I would like to give more explanation if people here don't mind, "nefret" is an Arabic word which you can find it in "urdu, persian, turkish..etc" in arabic "nefret" does not mean "hate" the original mean of it is "Repulsion" like in magnet "magnet repulsion" but we use it as a metaphorical expression implying "hate, disgust..etc"

"the magnet repulses -from- the other magnet" this is why in turkish and persian and Urdu they use "from": -dan.

I hope it helps

[martinovic7]

Thanks, i always wondered why it's "from" !

[pspai]

You forgot Urdu.In Urdu too they use "from"

[Ahmed2.15]

I'll add this to my comment, thanks for that :)

[padm915118]

In pashto (afghani) also they use from with it

[Fsilk]

Interesting. In English we say "Repulsed BY" something. Same idea. Thanks.

Translation: I hate drinking beer.

Thank you very much for a polarising effect explanation. A ^ & lingot from me.

"Polarising" - Maybe too subtle. Magnetism "nefret."

[basma1997]

[AlejandraA142609]

Thanks a lot for this !!

[Sam_cq]

Thanks a lot... that was very helpful..

[solacx]

I tried to translate the sentence with "I start hating from drinking beer". Comes nefret etmek always along with - tAn?

[Ektoraskan]

Yes, -den, -dan, -ten, -tan.

[dumark53]

OK. Thank you--that explains the -ten of içmekten.

[solacx]

Thank you :)

[Noha974366]

When do we use each one though?

[Joe1402]

I'm from the Czech Republic and I find it offensive :D

[ioanna.p]

what is the exact meaning of the verb ediyorum? Does it always go with nefret, I mean is that an expression?

[Selcen_Ozturk]

"etmek" is a sort of helper verb in Turkish, it is used in combination with many nouns (dans etmek: to dance, sohbet etmek: to chat etc). "nefret etmek" means "to hate" and it is the only translation of "to hate" in Turkish

[Stergi3]

@Ioanna. It is like the Greek verb κάνω, kano, i do, i make, so literally means I make hatred It is usual in Greek too to use a verb like this with foreign nouns when there is a Greek verb, as hear nefret is Arabic. It seems the logic is the same. To do, to make+noun.

[SunFlyingKite]

'et' also means do in old dialects. Et = do. Yap = make. So we have etmek and yapmak. In other turkic languages they still have this distinction e.g. Azeri. Not sure why Turkish has forgotten it.

[Mcav75]

I'll never need this phrase.

[Rockyroad62]

I understand the words. But they don't make any sense to me.

[esinmurat]

Yep, that usually happens when learning a new language. Give it time :)

[AsadKhaja]

Wouldnt "i hate beer drinking" also be correct?

[AlexinNotTurkey]

Definitely not...maybe if you are Shakespeare ;)

[Eclectic1234]

Actually, we could almost say that in English. You'd be treating "beer drinking" as an activity, sort of like birdwatching. "He decided to go on a diet after too many nights of beer drinking." :)

[AlexinNotTurkey]

Emphasis on the "almost" :D It is understandable but sill sounds pretty archaic to me. I would say that "drinking beer" sounds just plain better.

[AGreatUserName]

I hate babysitting.
I hate sitting babies.

Wait ...

[-Irshad-]

Here's a Lingot for your humor!

[castironowl]

The meaning's different too -- "I hate beer drinking" implies that I hate anyone's drinking beer, while "I hate drinking beer" is just a statement about what I hate doing.

[bellapiko]

Beer Drinking sound weird in UK English I agree although there are many beer drinkers there :D

[SEmuranahA]

So true. Except poetry or old English such is used.

[Deniz097]

is içmekten the infinitive form?

[Ektoraskan]

içmek - infinitive

-ten = from

("we hate from something" in Turkish)

[Deniz097]

ty

[IoannisJoh]

thanks

[Zohar847869]

But it is also used in other examples with sev.. sevmekten .. so what's the meaning there?

[neveemind]

Why ı am hate drinking beer?

[castironowl]

"I am hate" isn't grammatical in English. (Unless you're saying you're the personification of hatred!) You could say "I am hating drinking beer"; that sounds a little odd on its own, but "I am hating drinking beer lately" sounds more natural, and implies that the hatred of beer-drinking is something going on now that wasn't before.

If you've never liked beer and never will like beer and wish people would stop trying to get you to drink beer, "I hate drinking beer" is correct.

[Mcav75]

Yeah, I won't need this.

[Ehsan_Mehmed]

Could someone tell me any words that require -dan/den/tan/ten for the objects just like nefret etmek?

[ozelcizim]

A few examples for you:

Gitmek : Go

Okula gitmek istemiyorum. / I do not want to go to school

Okula gitmekten nefret ediyorum. / I hate going to school

O okula gitmeyi sever. / He likes going to school

[MrHilmiNevzat]

OzelCizim

Günaydın Ozel.

Your examples are fantastic & Nasılsın?

Benden bir ^ ve bir (lingot)

Teşekkür ederim.

[ozelcizim]

You're welcome! :)

İyiyim, teşekkür ederim :)

Umarım siz de iyisinizdir / I hope you are good too.

What is icmekten?

[yineanlamadim]

iç-mek-ten

iç - drink

mek - infinitive verb form

ten - ablative case (from/of)

nefret etmek (to hate) in Turkish takes the object in ablative case: arabalarDAN nefret ediyorum (I hate cars), or in this case "içmekTEN nefret ediyorum"

[MrHilmiNevzat]

atrunica

Hello.

"Bira içmekten nefret ediyorum."
Translation: I hate drinking beer.

What is icmekten? - "From drinking."

İçmek - Drinking + "-ten" suffix. "From" - (ablative) case.

Thank you.

[DesankaNed]

Ok, I think the whole breakup situation began when she disapproved his beer drinking habit
