When you have to say no, sometimes you want to add nuance.

عندما تضطر إلى قول "لا"، قد ترغب أحيانًا في إضافة لمسة من الدقة والتفصيل.

How can you say no without being rude?

Also, what do

Americans really mean when they say, I don't think so?

Do they mean no?

There are lots of ways you can say no while being kind and showing appreciation.

When I was living in Germany, I was frustrated that I didn't have any phrases to use in these kinds of situations.

I wished I had various ways to say no or to turn down an invitation.

Today, we're going to go over lots of ways to say no in English, in various situations.

Situation 1.

You're out to eat, and you've eaten, and your server asks if you'd like dessert, or if you'd like to see a dessert menu,

or if there's anything else you'd like to order.

You could say a simple, no thank you, or no thanks, or I don't think so.

We use I don't think to mean we're not sure.

Rachel, do they sell diapers at the corner store?

I don't think so, but I'm not sure.

Are they open late?

I don't think so.

Again, that means probably not, but I'm not 100 % sure.

So if we're asked if we know something, and we're not sure, we can say I don't think so.

But if we're asked if we want something, I don't think so means no. Do you want to try this on in another size?

I don't think so.

Do you want dessert?

I don't think so.

Do you want to super -size that order?

I don't think so.

Situation two.

Someone asks you to do something you don't want to do or can't do.

This could be a colleague at work asking you to do work on a project, or someone, say, at church, asking if you can do something.

Can you help plan the retreat this year?

This is, someone asks you to do something extra, to take on an extra task or extra work.

Not something social, we'll get to that in a minute.

Here are some phrases you could use to turn down something like this.

Sorry, I've got too much going on already.

Sorry, I can't take on any extra work.

Take on a phrasal verb.

Sorry, I can't take on any extra work.

Sorry, I don't have time.

That one is nice and simple.

Sorry, I don't have time.

Unfortunately, I'm not going to have time to do that.

Unfortunately, I can't take that on.

Using the word unfortunately shows that you have some level of disappointment.

It's something you'd like to do, or you can see that it would be good for you to do,

Or you can see that you're disappointing someone by saying no. Unfortunately, I can't.

You could also say, I'd like to, but I've got too much on my plate to take that on.

Too much on my plate.

That's an idiom that means you're busy.

And last week, I did a video that went over 16 different ways to say you're busy.

Often when you decline something, you add that you're busy or what your plans are.

So check out that video if you haven't already you'll learn some great phrases to use when you need to decline something.

You could say, I don't think I can make that work.

I don't think I can make that work.

Again, we're using I don't think here to mean no.

It's sort of a softer way than just saying a flat no. Rachel, can you help set up for the event on Monday?

I don't think I can make that work.

Sorry.

Hey, can you stay tonight for a client phone call?

I don't think I can make that work.

I have to pick up my kid at 6.

You could say, not this time, if it's something you're interested in in the future.

You could even say something like, not this time, but please ask me again.

I'd like to try to do that next time.

You could also try showing your appreciation.

For example, thanks for thinking of me, but I can't.

Or, I'm honored, but I can't.

Or, I'd really like to, but I can't make it work this time.

These all have but.

This kind of statement plus but, is something we would use a lot in social situations with friends, too.

That brings us to situation three.

A friend asks you to do something social, but you can't.

Maybe you're too busy, or you've already got plans.

You could say, I wish I could but, and your excuse.

I wish I could but we have guests in town then.

Or, I wish I could but I'm busy tonight.

So, I wish I could plus your excuse.

I could replace I wish I could with I'd love to.

Or, that sounds lovely.

That sounds lovely but I'll be out of town.

Or, I already have plans.

Or, but I'm helping my friend move that day.

You could also say, I'd like to.

I'd like to, but I'm not free tonight.

Oh, it's out of tune.

I'd like to, but I really can't make it work this time.

Or, what about this one?

Shoot, that sounds fun.

Sorry I can't make it.

Or, sorry I can't come.

You get the idea.

Situation 4.

You get a phone call, a sales call, someone wants to talk to you about switching phone companies,

or you're walking down the street and someone wants to sell you something, or have you give money to their charity.

You can be brief.

You can simply say, sorry, or not today, or I'm not interested, thanks.

There are lots of different ways to express no.

100

Memorizing some of these phrases will make it easier for you to decline an invitation, or not to do something you're asked to do.

101

It feels nice to have creative ways to express yourself other than a blunt NO, doesn't it?

102

Here's last week's video on ways to say you're busy.

103

Lots of really useful phrases and idioms there.

104

If you've already seen that one, then check out another Rachel's English video in the suggested videos.

105

And don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already.

106

What other situations do you need English phrases for?

107

Let me know in the comments below.

That's it and thanks so much for using Rachel's English.

القواعد في هذا الفيديو

أكثر التراكيب التي يستخدمها المتحدث، مع العبارات نفسها من الفيديو:

التركيب	في الفيديو
الجمل الشرطية if + جملة، will/would + فعل — شرط ونتيجته	if there's anything else you'd like · if you haven't already you'll learn
المضارع التام have/has + اسم المفعول — حدث ماضٍ ما زال له أثر الآن	you've eaten · you've already seen
المستقبل بـ “will” will + فعل — قرار أو وعد أو توقع	we'll get · you'll learn · I'll be
المضارع المستمر am/is/are + -ing — شيء يحدث الآن أو في هذه الفترة	we're using · I'm helping · you're walking

نطق يحتاج إلى انتباه

يستخدم المتحدث 82 من الصيغ المختصرة، مثل don't, can't, you're. انطقها بصيغتها القصيرة كما تسمعها.

أصوات “sh” و“zh”: invitation /ɪnvɪˈteɪʃən/, appreciation /əˌpɹiː.ʃiˈeɪ.ʃən/
الكلمات الطويلة — انتبه لموضع النبر: invitation /ɪnvɪˈteɪʃən/, appreciation /əˌpɹiː.ʃiˈeɪ.ʃən/, disappointment /ˌdɪsəˈpɔɪntmənt/

أصوات يجدها متحدثو العربية صعبة:

/p/ — ليس /b/: انطقه مع نفخة هواء: appreciation /əˌpɹiː.ʃiˈeɪ.ʃən/, disappointment /ˌdɪsəˈpɔɪntmənt/, disappoint /ˌdɪsəˈpɔɪnt/
/v/ — ليس /f/: مع اهتزاز الأوتار الصوتية: invitation /ɪnvɪˈteɪʃən/, server /ˈsɝvɚ/, verb /vɝb/
تتابع الصوامت — لا تضف حركة بينها: phrase /ˈfɹeɪ̯z/, tune /tjuːn/, subscribe /səbˈskɹaɪb/, disappointment /ˌdɪsəˈpɔɪntmənt/, blunt /blʌnt/

ما هي تقنية التظليل الصوتي؟

التظليل الصوتي (Shadowing) تقنية تعلم لغة مدعومة علمياً، طُورت أصلاً لتدريب المترجمين الفوريين المحترفين. الطريقة بسيطة لكنها قوية: تستمع لصوت إنجليزي أصلي وتكرره فوراً بصوت عالٍ — كظل يتبع المتحدث بتأخير 1-2 ثانية. تُظهر الأبحاث تحسناً كبيراً في دقة النطق والتنغيم والإيقاع وربط الأصوات والاستماع والطلاقة.
