[[File:English-contractions-polyglot-club.jpg|thumb]]

Although these slang contractions should never be used in written contexts, a lot of native speakers use them both in unformal or formal spoken situations.

For example, you will hear them in many movies and songs.

Therefore it's important to understand their use.

Here are the main ones. Feel free to complete this list by editing this wiki page.

== gonna ==
Gonna = Going to
* I'm gonna go to the store to pick up some groceries = I'm going to go to the store to pick up some groceries.

== wanna ==
Wanna = want to
* I wanna go out to eat tonight = I want to go out to eat tonight

<blockquote>
While, i fact, "wanna" usually means "I want to", it can (and does) on many occasions represent the phrase "I want a ___".

Also worth noting that "wanna" can apply to any type pronoun, i.e., "I wanna", "you wanna", "s/he wanna" - never mind that there is an "s" @ "s/he wants" --, "we wanna", and "they wanna". The "he/she wanna" is obviously even more "slangy" than the others, but then this should not come as a surprise to persons who "know" about English (American for sure and some other, e.g., London/UK) Black slang, in which the verb "to be" is utterly corrupted for lack of conjugation: I be, you be, he be, she be, we be, they be -- all of these are heard "on the streets" of America's urban (and not-so-urban) communities. Thus, the collapse of "He/she wants to/a" into "He/she wanna ...." should not be surprising.

<div style="font-size:240%;">2 Advanced phrases to sound educated and sophisticated (Formal/Romantic Persian)
</div>

Hello clubs mates!

In this lesson I'd like to introduce a few phrases that will make you sound like a native speaker!

You may use them for very formal meetings and or even romantic situations.

==How to say it's my pleasure in Persian==

First off, we start from the way you may say "my pleasure" when you've done something for somebody and they said thank you in Persian.

Persian speakers mostly say:

*"خواهش میکنم"
<blockquote>my pleasure</blockquote>

as an answer for:

*"ممنون"
<blockquote>thank you</blockquote>

but these days it's been used a lot.

So it would be better to use the phrase:

*"باعث افتخار من هست"

instead of saying:

*"خواهش میکنم"

Now let's think about a condition of inspiring someone; maybe your parents or spouse or friend that you care about.

They thank you for things you've done for them and in return you can say:

*"باعث افتخار من هست"

It sounds like an intelligent and sophisticated person talking and you'd like to keep up the conversation.

==How to apologize someone in a formal/romantic way==

The second phrase that I'd like to talk about is the situation that you want to apologize for something wrong you've done.

It's common to say:

*"معذرت میخواهم"

but to sound more educated, try to say:

*"مایلم بابت ....از شما عذر خواهی کنم"

You should have something to apologize for, and you should fill in the gap between the words"بابت" and "از" with a verb itself or with a verb+object.

For example, you've broken something fragile and valuable belonging to a frugal person that you care about; maybe your former boss or your love!

You can say:
*"مایلم بابت شکستن آن از شما عذر خواهی کنم"

Again, to remind you that this phrase is so formal, but you can use it for someone that you're engaged in as a romantic relationship and have intimate connection.

The second phrase that I'd like to talk about is the situation that you want to apologize for something you've done.

It's common to say "معذرت میخواهم", but to sound more educated, try to say " مایلم بابت ....از شما عذر خواهی کنم".

You should have something to apologize for, and you should fill in the gap between the words"بابت" and "از" with a verb itself or with a verb+object.

For example, you've broke something fragile and valuable belonging to a frugal person that you care about; maybe your former boss or your love! You can say "مایلم بابت شکستن شیشه از شما عذر خواهی کنم" .

Again, to remind you that this phrase is so formal, but you can use it for someone that you're engaged in as a romantic relationship and have intimate connection.

== "Useful Phrases" ==

Hello clubs mates! In this lesson I'd like to introduce a few phrases that will make you sound like a native speaker!

You may use them for very formal meetings and or even romantic situations.

First off, we start from the way you may say "my pleasure" when you've done something for somebody in Persian.

Persian speakers mostly say "خواهش میکنم" (my pleasure) as an answer for "ممنون" (thank you) ,But these days it's been used alot.So that'd better to use the phrase "باعث افتخار من هست" instead of saying "خواهش میکنم".

Now let's think about a condition of inspiring someone; maybe your parents or spouse or friend that you care about.

They thank you from things you've done for them and in return you can say" باعث افتخار من هست", It sound like an intelligent and sophisticated person talking and you'd like to keep up the talking.
