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.

"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…”
