| Colloquialisms in English or how to translate expressions with words: Wanna, Gonna, Gotta, etc. Colloquial English: abbreviation ain’t |
|
Ain't– a popular colloquial abbreviation in English language, which replaces several forms at once: amnot , isnot , arenot , havenot , hasnot. In some dialects it is also used in other cases - instead of donot , doesnot And didnot. Moreover, in Lately it began to be used instead of negatives in the future tense - won't And shan't . A little history Ain't is often considered a modern slang word, although it is actually centuries old. At the beginning of the 18th century, the abbreviation was very popular in Great Britain. It comes from dialect. At first it replaced denial amnot, then began to include values isnot And arenot. In the 19th century, the word began to be considered illiterate, too specific and ugly. The English began to avoid it in their speech, trying to speak according to all grammatical rules. There is an opinion that such unpopularity of the reduction ain't was caused by works in which every illiterate lower-class character spoke so. Contraction of ain’t in modern English Today ain't is an informal abbreviation. It is used very widely in English, especially in some US states. On the other side, ain't is still considered a marker of uneducated, vulgar, rude people. The British and Americans from the upper classes are dismissive of this reduction, considering it an indicator of low intelligence and a low level of education. This word has been called the most powerful social marker in the English language. Therefore, it must be used with caution, in certain situations and with certain interlocutors. Although ain't is a negation, contrary to the rules English grammar it is combined with other negations. Have you noticed the reduction ain't in the speech of native speakers or in the lyrics of songs? Share your observations with us in the comments. Very often, when watching films with subtitles in English, when listening to songs, we find that English-speaking people very often use incomprehensible words such as Wanna, Gonna, Gotta, etc. These words are not written about in basic textbooks, they are not spoken about in school, language courses. They are usually taken in advanced training courses. Meanwhile, there is nothing complicated in these expressions. This is vernacular English. As in the Russian language, it is believed that vernaculars do not decorate colloquial speech, and their use in official speech, unless you want to discredit yourself, is unacceptable. Nevertheless, due to their convenience, colloquial words and expressions are actively used in practice. Below we will look at the most common of them. English abbreviations: Ain't, Wanna, Gonna, Wannabee, Gotta, Dunno, Yep and Nope, apostrophe instead of first lettersAin't This word first appeared in English at the end of the 18th century. It arose simultaneously with such short forms auxiliary verbs like don’t and won’t. However, if the latter quickly became widespread, ain’t was considered an unliterary and even vulgar word for a long time. Speakers, commentators, and teachers were prohibited from using it. Depending on the situation, ain’t can be considered as equivalent to the following combinations of auxiliary verbs and the particle not: is not, are not and am not. For example: You ain’t going to the club until you’ve done the dishes. You won't go to the club until you wash the dishes. It ain’t necessary to do so. — It isn’t necessary to do so. There is no need to do this. I won the first prize. Ain't that cool! — I won the first prize. Isn't that cool! I received first prize. Isn't that cool? It must be said that the use of vernacular ain’t possible only in certain situations that need to be sensitively felt. Otherwise, the phrase you say will sound unnatural. For this reason, it is better for non-native speakers to completely avoid using it in their speech. Another colloquialism: Wanna[ˈwɒnə] This word is equivalent to the expression want to. This is how it is used in practice: “But I wanna go!” Clare shouted. “But I want to go!” Claire shouted. I wanna go home. I want to go home. I wanna be a king. I want to be a king. Gonna[ˈgɒnə] The colloquial word going is used when reporting about events that should happen in the future tense; it is a substitute for the expression going to in colloquial speech. Hey, I’m gonna hit the sack but I’ll call you tomorrow, ok babe? Look, I'm going to go to bed, but I'll call you tomorrow, okay baby? Look at this guy. He's gonna jump off the train! Look at this guy. He's about to jump off the train. I am gonna enter a college this year. This year I'm going to go to college. Wannabee[ˈwɒnə,bi:] Wannabee (want-to-be) is a noun that means a person who wants to be like someone famous person. Usually this word is used in relation to passionate fans popular singers, actors, musicians, etc. Elvis Presley wannabees gathered yesterday at the annual Elvis’s fest. Elvis Presley fans gathered at the annual Elvis Festival yesterday. Gotta[ˈgɒtə] The word gotta in colloquial speech is the equivalent of the modal verb have to, meaning “should.” For example: You know what they say, you've gotta spend money to make money! You know what they say, you have to spend money first to make money! Please note that in the example above, the second part of the sentence uses the present perfect tense. So in this case gotta replaces the non-modal verb have to, and its past participle had to. Dunno This colloquial word can be used in colloquial speech instead of the phrase don’t know. I dunno. Yepand Nope Yep and nore are used mainly in colloquial speech. In meaning they are quite close to yes and no. In general, yep is used to express confirmation of what has been said, and nore is used to deny what has been said. —Are you going to sit here all day? Colloquialisms formed by shortening the initial part of a word. How 'bout tomorrow? I’ll give you a call tomorrow afternoon, ‘k? What about tomorrow? I'll call you tomorrow evening, okay?
