Expression 'I had no say...'

Hi,
Please have a look at this:

=> I don’t understand what the speaker means by ‘I had no say’. Please shed some light on this.

Many thanks,
Nessie.

Hi Nessie

The word “say” is used as a noun there. Look at definition 14 here:
dictionary.reference.com/search?q=say&r=66
So, the meaning in your sentence is “I did not have the right or opportunity to speak, decide, or exercise influence in the matter”.
