Notes

1. 嫌いだ is a な type adjective which requires the "は~が construction". (⇨ は~が) The experiencer (i.e., the person who dislikes some thing) is marked by は and the disliked object by が. Note that the disliked object is marked by が, not by を.

2. In subordinate clauses, は marking the experiencer changes into が, as seen in (1).
