Informal
Contractions
Informal contractions are short forms of words that people use
when speaking casually. They are not exactly slang, but they are a
little like slang.
For example, "gonna" is a short form of "going to". If you say "going
to" very fast, without carefully pronouncing each word, it can sound
like "gonna".
Gimme: give me
Gimme gimme gimme gimme a minute a day!
Wanna: want to
I wanna help you improve your English.
What’d ya: What did you
What’d ya think of that?
Kinda: kind of
Kinda cool!
I don’t recommend you using them, but knowing about them helps you
understand people.
It’s VERY American!
