How to use

The verb 'nienawidzić' (to hate) is imperfective. Note: the source metadata mistakenly lists this as a noun, but it is a verb. It has a soft stem conjugation: 'nienawidzę', 'nienawidzisz'. Crucially, unlike 'kochać' and 'lubić' which govern the accusative, 'nienawidzić' always governs the GENITIVE case (e.g., 'nienawidzić spóźnień' — to hate lateness).
