'嫌い' is an i-adjective and follows the same conjugation rules as other i-adjectives (e.g., '嫌いです', '嫌くない', '嫌かった').
Derived from the verb '嫌う' (kirau), meaning 'to dislike' or 'to hate'. The 'い' suffix is used to form adjectives.
Commonly used in everyday conversation to express dislikes. Can be used for both objects and people, though it's more common for objects.
