口語中如何說“want to”
When I am talking to others in a friendly conversation, I often speed up my speech. I change words to make them faster to say.
For example, when I am talking, I pronounce “want to” as “wanta”. I say, “I wanta see a movie.” I say “I want to see a movie” in a formal conversation or when I want to be clear. But in casual conversation, I use “wanta”; I say, “I wanta” “I wanta see a movie.” Its much faster and my English speaking friends all understand and make this change as they speak.
So, as a person learning English, you must know about this change if you want to clearly understand what is said to you. And you should use this change, too, to make your English sound more conversational, more like a native speaker.
Attention
One thing that you should keep in mind: using “wanta” and “wanna” and “wansta” in conversation is perfectly fine when talking to your friends. But these changes are almost never written. You should not write these changes in written letters, emails, or school papers, because they are informal language. So I would not use “wanta” for “want to” in my writing.
And the last thing you should know: you must be able to use formal English pronunciation when needed. You shouldnt just use the changes “wanna” or “wansta” all the time.
When speaking to a friend, I might say, “I wanna go home.”
But if this situation is formal or I need to speak clearly, I would say, “I want to go home.” If I was in a casual meeting, I might say, “I wanna say something.” But, if people didnt understand me, Id slow down and say, “I want to say something.” So in formal situations, you must be able to slow down and use formal pronunciation.
Practice
Now, listen to this conversation for the changes that youve learned:
Hey, hows it going?
Pretty good, do you wanna see a movie tonight?
Sure, what do you wanna see?
Well, my girl friend is coming and she wansta see Avatar.
I already saw that, I dont wanna see it again.
