The phrase "hath hard feelings" may seem confusingly spelled to some English learners. However, the reason for this spelling is the archaic use of "hath" instead of "has" and "hard" instead of "harsh" or "strong." In IPA phonetic transcription, it would be pronounced /hæθ hɑrd ˈfiːlɪŋz/, with the "th" sound in "hath" and the long "e" sound in "feelings." This phrase is often used to describe someone who is holding a grudge or harboring resentment towards another person.
