grammar - "I was too surprised to say anything (or) something"



Which phrase is correct and why? I think "something" is correct because we have a positive sentence not a negative nor a question. As i have seen from the internet (google search) the case with the "anything" is correct. Can anyone explain to me please why is that correct?


Answer



Too... to... is a structure which implies a negative. meaning I was too surprise (I can not say anything). hope this help.
