เพื่อนน่ารักคนหนึ่งถามป้าโอ้ทว่า Gonna กับ Gotta นี่อะไร งง จัง
มาคะ ป้าโอ้ทจะเล่า...
คำพูดสั้นๆ แบบขี้เกียจพูด เหมือนกับวัยรุ่นไทยที่สร้างคำพูดขึ้นมา พูดให้สั้นลงแต่เป็นที่เข้าใจ คำเหล่านี้ไม่ใช้ในการเขียนนะคะ
เรียกว่า
Relaxed (Fast) Pronunciation คลิกลิงก์เข้าไปดูในวิกิพีดีอธิบายไว้ มีตัวอย่างหลายภาษาด้วย รวมทั้งภาษาอังกฤษ
ป้าโอ้ทยกตัวอย่างที่ใช้กันบ่อยในภาษาอังกฤษ ตามที่ป้าโอ้ทเรียนมานะคะ
You => Ya
เช่น Do
you need exact change for these machines? กลายเป็น Do
*ya need exact change for these machines?
What do you กับ What are you => Whaddaya
เช่น What do you want? กลายเป็น Whaddaya want?
What are you thinking? กลายเป็น
Whaddaya thinking?
want to => wanna
เช่น I want to eat out. กลายเป็น I *wanna eat out.
Going to + verb =>gonna

Of, have, and to
The words
of,
to, and
have all tend to elide to nothing more than a
schwa [ə] in many common situations. This sometimes leads to spelling confusion, such as writing
"I could of..." instead of
"I could have..." or
"I could've".
- could have: [ˈkʊɾə], coulda or [ˈkʊɾəv], could uhv.
- must have: [ˈmʌstə], musta or [ˈmʌstəv], must uhv.
- should have: [ˈʃʊɾə], shoulda or [ˈʃʊɾəv], should uhv.
- would have: [ˈwʊɾə], woulda or [ˈwʊɾəv], would uhv.
- it would: when contracted, it's pronounced [ˈɪɾəd], iduhd, but this often collapses to [ˈɪd], ihd.
- it would / it would have: [ˈɪɾə], itta.
- a lot of: [əˈlɑɾə], a lotta.
- kind of: [ˈkaɪɾ̃ə], kinda.
- out of: [ˈaʊɾə], outta.
- sort of: [ˈsɔɹɾə], sorta.
- going to: [ˈɡʌnə], gonna.
- got to: [ˈɡɑɾə], gotta.
- have to: [ˈhæftə], hafta.
- want to: [ˈwɑɾ̃ə], wanna.
- ought to : [ˈɔɾə], oughta.
"Would" can also get contracted ("I'd have done things differently."), which usually yields
[ɾə] ("I would have..." can be pronounced
[aɪɾə]).
Note: The
[v] in "have" and "of" is usually retained before a vowel sound (e.g. in "I could have
asked...").
You
"You" tends to elide to
[jə] (often written
"ya"). Softening of the preceding consonant also may occur: (
/t/ +
/jə/ =
[tʃə],
/d/ +
/jə/ =
[dʒə],
/s/ +
/jə/ =
[ʃə], and
/z/ +
/jə/ =
[ʒə]). This can also happen with other words that begin with
[j] (e.g. "your", "yet", "year"). In some dialects, such as Australian English, this is not a relaxed pronunciation but compulsory: got you
[ˈɡɔtʃjʉː] (never *
[ˈɡɔtjʉː]).
- did you: [ˈdɪdʒə], didja
- did you / do you: [ˈdʒə], d'ya
- don't you: [ˈdoʊntʃə], doncha
- got you: [ˈɡɒtʃə], gotcha
- get you / get your: [ˈɡɛtʃə], getcha
- would you: [ˈwʊdʒə], wouldja
Other
- -ing forms of verbs and sometimes gerunds tend to be pronounced with an [ɪ̈n] at the end instead of the expected [iŋ] or [ɪŋ]. E.g. talking: [ˈtʰɑkɪ̈n], tahkin. If followed by a [t], this can in turn blend with it to form [ɾ̃]. E.g. talking to Bob: [ˈtʰɑkɪ̈ɾ̃̃ə ˈbɑb], tahkinna Bob
- "I will" gets contracted to "I'll" [aɪjəl], which in turn gets reduced to "all" [ɑl] in relaxed pronunciation. E.g. I'll do it: [ˈɑl ˈduɪʔ(t)], all do it
- "he" tends to elide to just [i] after consonants, sometimes after vowel sounds as well. E.g. is he: [ˈɪzi], izee; all he: [ˈɑli], ahlee
- "his", "him", and "her" tend to elide in most environments to [ɪ̈z], [ɪ̈m], and [ɚ], respectively. E.g. meet his: [ˈmiɾɪ̈z], meetiz; tell him: [ˈtʰɛlɪ̈m], tellim; show her [ˈʃoʊɚ], show-er
- "them" tends to elide to [əm] after consonants. E.g. ask them: [ˈæskəm], ask'em. (Historically, this is a remnant of the Old English pronoun hem.)
- about: [ˈbaʊt], bout
- already: [ɑˈɹɛɾi], ahready
- all right: [ɑˈɹʌit], ahright
- come here: [ˈkʌmi(ə)ɹ], cuhmeer
- don't know: [ɾəˈnoʊ], [dəˈnoʊ] if not preceded by a vowel sound, dunno
- fixing to: "finna"
- give me: [ˈɡɪmi], gimme
- I'm going to: [ˈaɪmə], "Imma" or [ˈɑmənə], "Ah-muhnuh"
- is it: [zɪt], ’zit
- isn't it: [ˈɪnɪt], innit
- let me: [ˈlɛmi], lemme
- let's: [ts], E.g. let's go: [tsˈɡoʊ]
- probably: [ˈpɹɑli], [ˈpɹɑbli], prolly, probly
- suppose: [spoʊz] s'pose. E.g. I suppose so: [ai spoʊz soʊ]
- trying to: [ˈtɹaɪɾ̃ə] "trynna"
- want a: [ˈwɑɾ̃ə], wanna
- what is that: [ˌwʌˈsæt], wussat
- what is up: [wəˈsʌp], wassup
- what is up: [sʌp], ’sup
- what are you: [ˈwʌtʃə], whatcha
- what have you: [ˈwʌtʃə], whatcha. E.g. What have you been up to? : [wʌtʃə bɪn ʌp tu]
- what do you/what are you: [ˈwʌɾəjə], whaddaya
- you all: [jɑl], y’all
