I have something to tell you

Question

1. Tengo algo que decirte.
2. Tengo algo de decirte.
3. Tengo algo para decirte.
4. Tengo algo por decirte.
5. Tengo algo de que hablar contigo.

Are all of these forms right? Gracias. I think the 1st, 3rd, and 5th are best even though I don't get the "que" so much except to think instinctively that it belongs there. Maybe any instance of tengo que and hay que can easily be reversed as long as there is a connecter. Anyway....I assume "Tengo algo decirte" doesn't work. Gracias.

I nearly never get the "que" :) - ian-hill, Apr 13, 2010

Answer 1

Tengo algo que decirte and Tengo algo para decirte are the only ones that are correct

Gracias. What about the last one, Tengo algo de que hablar contigo? - jeezzle, Apr 13, 2010

No, but "Tengo algo que hablar contigo" is correct :) - Benz, Apr 13, 2010

Answer 2

actually, i think that "tengo algo decirte" is the best. Tengo algo que decirte.- I have something that to tell you. Tengo algo de decirte.- i have something of to tell you. Tengo algo de que hablar contigo.- i have something of that to talk with you.

hope this helps!

Tengo algo que decirte = Tengo que decirte algo not I have something that to tell you. I must say that I disagree with you. - jeezzle, Apr 13, 2010

and i must say your answer does not make sense :) wait, you asked this...if you know, why didn't you answer it yourself? - lolita_lovee, Apr 13, 2010

because I am asking help from people, I don't KNOW the answer but I am telling you what I do know. I believe you are incorrect but I suppose we shall see, we are all learners, perhaps it is I that is wrong. - jeezzle, Apr 13, 2010

You are awfully incorrect :) - Benz, Apr 13, 2010

Which one? - ian-hill, Apr 13, 2010

All of them Ian!! (I was talking about lolita's answer) except for "Tengo algo que decirte" that was Jeezz version :) - Benz, Apr 13, 2010
