Description
🌏Article
If you want to know about something, you can ask for "info" instead of "information". Businesses often talk about "ads" instead of "advertisements." Also, we usually say "gym," not "gymnasium".
Using shorter versions of English words and phrases like this can help you sound more fluent. Here are a few more that are easy to add to your "vocabulary" — or "vocab."
If you wanted to know what "vegetarian" food a restaurant has, you could ask for a "veggie" menu. "Veggies" or “veg” is also a shorter way to say "vegetables".
Some short phrases can also be made into a single word. For example, both "want to" and "want a" can become "wanna," and instead of "give me," you can say "gimme."
If someone asks what you are "going to" do next weekend, you can answer, "I'm gonna relax." Or if you "don't know" what you're gonna do, you could say, "I dunno yet."
"Whaddya" is what we get when we make "what," "do," and "you" into one word — used for example, like this: "Whaddya wanna have for dinner?"
These short versions of phrases should really only be used in conversations. They shouldn't be used in work emails though — that wouldn’t be very professional.
Actually, "professional" can be shortened to "pro," and used like this; "I wanna be a pro soccer player one day!" And other adjectives can be shortened too. "Comfortable" can become "comfy," and if you're in the UK, you might hear "brill" instead of "brilliant."
🌏Summary
資訊的英文是「information」,您也可以簡稱為「info」。 商業界在談論廣告的時候,很少說「advertisement」,會直接說「ad」。 健身房也通常會說「gym」而不是「gymnasium」。「gonna」是「going to」的縮寫,所以如果您想說「我想放鬆一下」您可以直接說 「I'm gonna relax.」。「dunno」是「don't know」的縮寫,所以如果您想說「我還不曉得。」,您可以說「I dunno yet」。要注意哦!這些簡短的片語通常使用於日常的對話,不適合在正式的郵件中使用。
