短縮形

gonna

1. (colloquial, with bare infinitive) 短縮形 of going to when followed by an infinitive verb: used to express a future action.
   • 1987, Stock Aitken Waterman (lyrics かつ music), “Never Gonna Give You Up”, in Whenever You Need Somebody, RCA Records, performed by Rick Astley:

     Never gonna give you up, / Never gonna let you down, / Never gonna run around and desert you. / Never gonna make you cry, / Never gonna say goodbye, / Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.

使用する際の注意点

• This spelling, like any nonstandard spelling, risks appearing condescending. Even when going to has the pronunciation that gonna denotes, it is usually spelled <going to>.
• Gonna, like the pronunciation it denotes, only occurs when indicating a future tense (something that is bound to happen または is planned); hence “I’m gonna go now”, but not *“I’m gonna the mall.” (You have to say instead “I’m going to the mall.”)

Comparison to Gotta In Mid-Eastern United States

For the English spoken by people in the Mid-Eastern United States, gonna and gotta are usually interchangeable, but have slightly different tones in regard to confidence. Note that this tone is rather weak and does not drastically change the tone of the whole conversation with a Mid-Eastern person. Gonna is approximately equivalent to “going to”, and is typically more personal, affirmative, and self-motivated. Gotta approximates with “got to”, and often suggests that something is beyond one's control.
