odié

Odió is the third-person singular form of the Spanish verb odiar in the simple past (preterite) indicative. It denotes a completed act of hating in the past and is used in narrative and descriptive contexts to express a strong dislike toward a person, thing, or idea.

The verb odiar derives from Latin odiare, from odium meaning hatred. In Spanish, odiar is a regular -ar verb in most tenses. In the preterite, the forms are: yo odié, tú odiaste, él/ella/usted odió, nosotros odiamos, vosotros odiasteis, ellos/ellas/ustedes odiaron. The accent marks on odié and odió help indicate pronunciation and differentiate from other tenses.

Usage notes: odió conveys a decisive past action and is stronger than other past forms such as odiaba (imperfect) or ha odiado (present perfect). It is commonly used in fiction, journalism, and everyday speech to convey intense dislike or moral judgment. Example: Ayer odió la decisión tomada por su equipo. Another example: Él odió la idea desde el primer momento.

Related terms include odio (noun meaning hatred), odiar (to hate), and odioso/odiosa (hateful). The form odió is specific to the third-person singular in the preterite and should be distinguished from other conjugations when constructing or interpreting past statements in Spanish.
