"Why didnt'/don't you say so?'

Should it be 'why didn't you say so?' or 'why don't you say so?'

Thanks

Either one, depending on the situation.
Did someone not say something in the past? Then use "Why didn't you say so?"
Is someone not saying something in the present? Then use "Why don't you say so?"
