Today, I am going to teach you different ways you can say "I don't like it". In Western cultures, it's all about being polite because you don't want to hurt people. If someone gives you a cake you don't just say "I don't like it", you're trying to be more polite and encouraging in this situation.
"I dislike it" is a formal way of saying “I don’t like it”. It is very direct and could cause offense to some people.
You can also say "I'm not interested". You can say: "Your proposal is great but I am not really interested in jumping on it in the next few weeks because I am on my maternity leave."
If you're unhappy with somebody's actions, you can say "I don't appreciate it".
"I'm not into it". I'm sure you've heard it hundreds of times! "To be into something" is to like something.
"I'm not fond of it". Not to be fond of something is an informal way of saying you don’t like it very much.
The expression "I'm not crazy about it" is similar to “not be fond of something”.
Another phrase that you can use is "it's not for me" which is a neutral way of explaining that you are not interested in something.
"I’m not much of a … person" is the same as “it’s not for me”.
"I'll pass" is a quick way of saying you are not interested in a suggestion. For example, you are invited to go out on a Saturday night and you decide to stay home and learn a language. So you tell your friends: "Sorry guys, I'll pass"
The next phrase is really direct, you wouldn't use it in a business meeting or in a formal interaction. This is something that you would use with really close friends. For example, somebody is trying to kiss you on the cheek and you can say: "I can't stand it."
Another strong phrase is "It drives me crazy". It actually means that you hate something.
The next phrase is a bit of British and it is "it's not my cup of tea". It means “to not like.”
Our last expression "it's not my thing" is similar to the previous one, and means the same thing: “I don’t like…” or “I am not interested in…”

You are my indispensible English tutor on KZread! I watch your videos even I'm advanced, and mastered English! You explain things explicitly, that's what I like, keep it up 👍
Friends: You're invited You: Sorry guys I'll pass Also you: stay at home to learn a new language I see what you did there
She has such a great way to speak, I get so excited while I am watching her videos.
Great! The time code with all the words is extremely useful. It‘s super convenient to revise them after some time after watching the video👍🏻

Hey, marina 🧡 thank you so much 💛 you are out of this world 🌺
It was very interesting and useful. Thank you so much❤ I always watch your videos. Your English is extremely great. I watched other videos that English was their second language, and they weren't as fluent as you are. I learn and practice English in-home and by myself. Some time is really hard for me to communicate with other people in English and it makes me nervous. Your videos are inspiring to me. I wish you the best. ❤❤❤

I have said this thousands of time. ‘I am not interested’ is really appropriate for me to refuse or you know..... Marina, you and your videos are awesome!
One more alternative for “I don’t like it” is “it’s not my favorite”
Why I'm watching all this🤣🤣 As I don't know much of a English Especially grammer.
Honestly I watch her videos without skipping..❤️. Impressed the way she talks
You're an amazing teacher ❤😊
I know every single one of the expressions and I still use "I don't like it" 😅 shit 😉
"I am not interested" & "I am not crazy about it" which are my power. LoL
I've learned so many useful things from your channel, really thanks to you
I'm from Thailand, and today I love the way she speaks, n I'll learn more
Highly recommended KZreadr for me ever. Thank you for your help for learning. Speaking of mine, I always say as you literally put on the title, ''I don't like it ''', so should be much more polite if I come to talk to people. Let me share my thinking as just one of the opinion from your Japanese subscriber: ) Many people especially from out of the native countries might think English speakers speak very directly . . so then probably there is a tendency we try to speak as people can understand easily . . . as a part of that, people come to speak like that unintentionally and eventually they happen to say not politely sometimes. Sorry, I got off track a little. Btw I really appreciate that you always make the videos which are super helpful for English learners and let us know how to express differently. I like the way you explain very practically with a part of the scene from some movies. . . that makes us get interested seriously. Hope you keep uploading sometimes as well. Thanks, good day: )
