Usage tips
Word formation
'Ungeliebt' (unloved) consists of 'un-' and 'geliebt' (loved). Here, the prefix 'un-' negates the quality 'geliebt' (loved); 'geliebt' is the form of 'lieben' (to love) that is also used as an adjective.

Every morning, he takes care of his disliked routine tasks.
Typical collocations
For disliked activities and duties, nouns such as 'Aufgabe' (task), 'Arbeit' (work), 'Pflicht' (duty), or 'Tätigkeit' (activity) are especially common. The adjective often describes something that still has to be done.
EXAMPLE
