How to ask in Chinese Mandarin: What do you want me to say?
The first one sounds just fine. The &quot;what&quot; part is the object of the sentence. In forming a question in Chinese, the general position of the SVO doesn't change. The second one looks like using Chinese words to fit into an English word order.
Affirmative sentence: 你想我说 &quot;XYZ&quot; .
Question: 你想我说什么？ - Question word &quot;什么&quot; replaces &quot;XYZ&quot; .
