"I'm saying something I don't like to say." "I'm saying something I don't like to."

"I'm saying something I don't like to say." "I'm saying something I don't like to."

I'm saying saying I don't like to say.
I'm saying something I don't like to.
I'm saying something I don't like.

Are the second and third versions said?

And what about this sentence "It seems like you are trying to make me say something I don't like to." Is it correct?

Re: "I'm saying something I don't like to say." "I'm saying something I don't like to

Number two and three are correct but mean different things. Can you figure out the difference?

And what about this sentence "It seems like you are trying to make me say something I don't like to." Is it correct?

"Something I don't want to" would be more natural in my opinion, but your version is possible.

One question per post please. In future I will ignore any post with more than one question.

Ahsanul_irful: I'm saying something I don't like.
Tarheel: Really? What are you saying, and why do you dislike it?

I'm saying saying I don't like to say.

I have no idea what that is supposed to mean.

Re: "I'm saying something I don't like to say." "I'm saying something I don't like to

I'm fairly sure the OP intended:

I'm saying something I don't like to say.

(If I saw that in context I might understand it better, however I don't think there is any context.)

Re: "I'm saying something I don't like to say." "I'm saying something I don't like to

1) I'm saying saying I don't like to say.
2) I'm saying something I don't like to.
3) I'm saying something I don't like.

No. Use number 1).

And what about this sentence "It seems like you are trying to make me say something I don't like to." Is it correct?

No. End the sentence by repeating the verb say.

No. Use number 1).

Are you sure? Number 1 says "I'm saying saying I don't like to say".

Re: "I'm saying something I don't like to say." "I'm saying something I don't like to

Are you sure? Number 1 says "I'm saying saying I don't like to say".

Oh, yes, I didn't spot that. That's an error. The second saying was meant to be something.
