@mika_n Ohh I see~ If it's between friends then the meaning can become lighter. If they're joking around saying "I hate you" with a smile then it could just be their way of having fun/showing affection.
In the situation you initially showed, they were talking about someone else and I assumed they were friends talking about some other person. So it gives off a stronger meaning than if they used "I don't like him though".

@crimsontuIips Thanks for your quick reply. I've heard my American friends say 'I hate you!' with a smile. I knew they were in very good terms.
So I wondered if between friends, it wasn't such a strong word.
Now I guess it is strong.
