Not particular

Hi all,

Can I use the phrase "not particular" in the following dialogue, I'd like to know more about when and how to use the phrase "not particular".

"Where shall we have the meal? I'm not particular, it is up to you."

Any errors in my sentence you can correct me, thanks!

Leon

Where shall we eat ? I'm not particula r ; it's up to you. Use 'I'm not particular' whenever you don't have a strong preference.

Thanks Micawber.
"I'm not particular; it's up to you."
What you mean about the semicolon, is it means "or"? An alternative way to reply "Where shall we eat?"

You must use a semicolon, a period, or a conjunction to separate 2 independent clauses; a comma only is wrong punctuation.

I'm not particular; it's up to you.
I'm not particular. It's up to you.
I'm not particular, so it's up to you.

Informally, an m-dash is popular:

I'm not particular—it's up to you.
