Verb (dictionary form) / Noun + の + 嫌いがある

[Have a tendency to; be inclined to (negative)]

Connection: Verb (dictionary form) + 嫌いがある / Noun + の + 嫌いがある

Usage: Expresses that someone or something has an undesirable tendency or inclination. Despite using the kanji 嫌い (dislike), this grammar point means "tendency" rather than "dislike." Always carries a negative evaluation — the tendency mentioned is seen as problematic.

Key nuance: This is a formal, written expression. The tendency is viewed critically by the speaker.

Examples:

彼は何でも大げさに言う嫌いがある。(He has a tendency to exaggerate everything.)

若い人は安易に結論を出す嫌いがある。(Young people tend to jump to conclusions too easily.)

この議論は感情的になる嫌いがある。(This debate has a tendency to become emotional.)
