ne... ...pas grand -chose with multiple verbs

Question

I know the following wording may be a bit unusual but can you use this phrasing in a sentence as follows:

I do not much want to speak to them. Would it be "je ne veux pas grand chose leur parler ? OR Je ne veux pas leur parler grand-chose.

Accepted Answer

Hi Jameson,
No, you cannot use grand-chose this way, not with parler anyway.
You could say -
Je n'ai pas envie de leur dire grand chose = I don't feel like saying much to them 
Je n'ai pas grand chose à leur dire = I don't have much to say to them
Or
Je n'ai pas beaucoup envie de leur parler = I don't feel like speaking to them very much
Hope this helps!

Answer

I don't think you can use grand-chose this way.
