to appear uncomfortable (with) · N2

嫌がる (いやがる, iyagaru) — to appear uncomfortable — is a godan verb ending in る: 嫌がって (te-form), 嫌がった (past), 嫌がらない (negative), 嫌がります (polite).

It is transitive: it takes a direct object. It also means to seem to hate; to express dislike.

Which one depends on the ending. The five are one line of the hiragana chart — same consonant, vowels あ・い・う・え・お — and everything before that kana never changes.
