Hi,
Does word rather here mean highly dislike him???
Hi, I don’t know.I’ve always thought that rather has a negative meaning,but here I don’t know.
‘Rather’ here has the meaning of ‘somewhat’.
That is, to some extent or degree:
She’s been behaving rather strangely. – She’s been behaving somewhat strangely / She has been behaving strangely to some extent.
He’s rather an unpleasant man. – He’s a somewhat unpleasant man / He is unpleasant to some extent.
She rather turned against me. – She turned against me somewhat / She turned against me to some extent.
It is often negative, but it doesn’t have to be:
It’s a rather pleasant afternoon.
You look rather fetching in that outfit.
