don't like either (of them)

[ademoglu]

Hi,

A: Which cars do you like?’
B: I don't like either of them. / I like neither of them.

Can I omit 'of them' after 'either' and 'neither' if the sentence and meaning is clear?

A: Which cars do you like?’
B: I don't like either. / I like neither.

Thanks.

In order for the answer to include "either" or "neither", the person would have to be given a choice between only two. In that case, the question would be "Which car do you like?" or "Which one do you like?"

Two people are looking at a red Fiesta and a blue Clio.

A: Which car/one do you like?
B: I don't like either of them. :tick:
B: I like neither of them. :tick:
B: I don't like either one. :tick:
B: I like neither one. :tick:
B: I don't like either. :tick:
B: I like neither. :tick:

The first response, "I don't like either of them" is the most likely in BrE.
