In contemporary usage, particularly in American English and urban Brazilian Portuguese, 'hating' or 'hating on' someone has evolved beyond its literal meaning to include general criticism, disapproval, or 'throwing shade.' In Brazilian culture, especially among younger generations, the expression is used casually in social media and informal conversation. In Portugal, the more formal 'detestar' is often preferred in written or formal contexts, while 'odiar' is used colloquially.
