I need to know if it possible to say:

"I do not want to hurry you" the meaning is that I do not want he does something faster than normal for me....

Thanks

Yes, you can say that. e. "I don't want to RUSH you", but both HURRY and RUSH can be used in that way.

You mean, can you "put me IN A HURRY"? I wouldn't say that, but it's not WRONG. Likewise "put me in a RUSH".

You could "make me hurry" or "make me rush".

Also, I should have said before, HURRY is often used with UP, like "Tell him to HURRY UP".

Dear pamela,

We "hurry somebody into (doing) something"

E.g: She doesn’t want to be hurried into making a decision.

And same goes for rush.

1. rush somebody/something to something

2. rush somebody into (doing) something

Hope it helps
