The most basic and rudimentary way to express dislike of someone or something is to use 싫
어해요 (sirheohaeyo), the verb "dislike." This is used just like the English "don't like" or
"dislike." The most basic construction with this verb is as follows.

-----------------------------
▷ Construction
-----------------------------
(Object)을/를 싫어해요. (Object)eul/reul silheohaeyo. (Object) dislike.

Note: The object marking particle is 을 (eul) or 를 (reul). It marks the object of the sentence. 을
(eul) is used for objects that end in consonants. 를 (reul) is used for obejcts that end in vowels.

Example:

저는 스시를 싫어해요. (jeo-neun seusi-reul sirheohaeyo). I don't like sushi.

Literally:
I (topic marking particle) sushi (object marking particle) dislike (standard politeness level).
(topic of sentence) + (object that is disliked) + (싫어하다)

For the verb 싫어해요 (silheohaeyo), the object marking particle, 을 (eul) and 를 (reul) is used
to mark the thing or person that is disliked.

---------------------------
♣ More Examples ♣
---------------------------
저는 컴퓨터를 싫어해요. (jeo-neun keompyuteo-reul sirheohaeyo) I don't like computers.
제 선생님이 저를 싫어해요. (je seonsaengnim-i jeo-reul sirheohaeyo) My teacher doesn't like
me.

The object marking particle can be dropped in speech. Although this can cause confusion on
occasion, the majority of the time, it can be inferred from context what the object is (this is also
true for other particles in Korean). Parts of speech can be dropped in conversation (i.e. topic
marking particle, subject marking particle), as long as they can be inferred from context.
