When we speak, we often abbreviate words. We also shorten words when we write text messages (SMS). Here's a handy guide to some of the more common abbreviations. Speaking gonna = is / am going to (do something) "I'm gonna call him now." wanna = want to "I wanna speak to you." gotta = has / have got to (or have got) "I gotta go!" innit = isn't it "It's cold, innit?" ain't = isn't / haven't / hasn't "He ain't finished yet." "I ain't seen him today." ya = you "Do ya now what I mean?" lemme = let me "Lemme see … tomorrow's a good time." whadd'ya = what do you … "Whadd'ya mean, you don't want to watch the game?" dunno = don't / doesn't know "I dunno. Whadd'ya think?" Text messaging abbreviations Numbers 2 = to / two 4 = for / four 8 = ate Letters U = you C = see B = be CU L8r = see you later msg – message pls = please cld = could gd = good vgd = very good abt = about ths = this asap = as soon as possible tks = thanks txt = text LOL = lots of love / laugh out loud x = a kiss!  | |
