Say “I would like you to know…” but begin with “You, who I would like …”?

grammaticality

I would like to say something like "You, who I would like you to know about this". But the second "you" seems wrong. What is the correct way to write this sentence?

Best Answer

You can say "I would like you to know about this." Therefore, you can say "You, whom I would like to know about this, . . ." Note that the relative pronoun "whom" is in the object case because it replaces "you" in the first sentence, which is in the object case. (In both sentences, it is the DO of "like".)

Others will analyze this sentence differently, of course, but this is one possibility.
