15 -to dislike o not to like?-
Nota d'usoIl verbo to dislike nel senso di “non piacere” non viene usato frequentemente nell'inglese di tutti i giorni. In questo caso, si preferisce ricorrere alla forma negativa del verbo to like: I don't like coconut, non mi piace il cocco (non I dislike coconut). To dislike viene usato in contesti più formali e spesso esprime un sentimento più forte: She dislikes him, lo detesta. Come sostantivo, dislike è usato in locuzioni come: to take a dislike to sb./st. (o to have a dislike for sb./st.), prendere in antipatia; oltre che nella comune collocazione likes and dislikes, ciò che piace e non piace. -
