What you don't like? / What don't you like?
Hi!
Could you please explain, which one sounds natural:
1. What you don't like?
or
2. What don't you like?
(It's fine for a positive expression "What do you like?", but not so obviously with a negative one).
And are there any cases (see A-F below) that could not be used as an answer:
A. I don't like this guy. (Should we use "Whom don't you like?" in this case or "What" is also possible?)
B. I don't like bananas.
C. I don't like those yellow trousers my Mum bought for me yesterday.
D. I don't like reading.
E. I don't like to swim.
F. I don't like the idea that I must eat broccoli for lunch every day.
Thanks!

C. I don't like those yellow trousers my Mum bought for me yesterday.
D. I don't like reading.
E. I don't like to swim.
F. I don't like the idea that I must eat broccoli for lunch every day
These are all natural :D

'What do you not like?' is more common, I'd say.
Together; 'What DO you like, and what DON'T you like?' is ok, though.
eg: I would say to someone; 'oh.. do you not want to come?' or 'do you not like it?'
If I say 'Don't you want to come?!' or 'don't you like it?!' it seems that I'm surprised or shocked or something..
:)
P.S. 'what you don't like?' is totally wrong!

Actually, people who work on TV, radio or at newspapers say or write 'whom' because somebody told them it's 'correct grammar', but it's not really, so other people (normal people) never use it like that. :)

Got it! :)

Don't use 'whom' - nobody says that (books say it's 'correct' but it's not!!)
