A contraction is a shortened version of the written and spoken forms of a word, syllable, or word group, created by omission of internal letters (actually, sounds). Is it common to say i'm game in place of i'm in or count me in Is it correct to write i am gerardo and i am here
Schinkennudeln (German Ham and Egg Pasta) | Maple + Mango
Or i am gerardo and i'm here
Is there any difference between these two statements?
I am on it in your first example sounds like a shortened version of i’m on the case, a colloquial way of saying that the speaker is dealing with it In the context of some kind of dispute, as in your second example, they’re at it again means that they have started doing again whatever it was that was a component in the dispute. 0 i'm italian, i don't remember if i learned this in school or by seeing movies/tv series, but i always believed it was a common way of saying, that it was used normally I don't find it old at all
It's funny to read that you don't use it that much. We all know i am and i'm are same but recently i figure out there is a bit difference When we said i'm a programmer, the feeling is like just normal telling other, but while you said i am a progr. For “i’m well”, there is well (adjective) 1b
Being in satisfactory condition or circumstances for “i’m good”, there is good (adjective) 2e
Free from infirmity or sorrow for “i’m doing good”, there is good (adverb) 1 Well so they all seem fine to me. How about good to go Being in a state fit to commence something (or carry on), that's very close to a strong meaning and sufficiently close to i'm fine while lacking the nuance that comes with it.
1 i'm doing great is not grammatically correct in my view as great is an adjective and noun but not an adverb In that sentence you need an adverb The traditional adverb for great would be greatly but that doesn't work because great means large or big and greatly can only be used in other contexts such as a comparative (greatly superior. In practice in us speech, what's written as i'm going to, or as i'm gonna, is pronounced somewhere around /'amənə/, with 3 syllables, the last two unstressed
In rapid speech, the second nucleus deletes and the two nasals assimilate to a long /m/, leaving /'ammə/
That's pretty normal in whitebread american english faspeech, not just aave.
