語源

Contraction of going to. Attested since 1913 (OED, "gonna"). The pronunciation of present participles with the sound n rather than ng has a long history (see g-dropping on Wikipedia).

発音

• (Received Pronunciation) IPA: /ɡən.ə/
• The final schwa does not trigger linking-R in accents where it usually would (in most non-rhotic accents). Instead there is hiatus, a glottal stop, or the final vowel is pronounced /-uː/.
• (米国発音) IPA: /ˈɡʌn.ə/, /ˈɡɔn.ə/
• • (unstressed form) IPA: /ɡən.ə/
• (African-American Vernacular) IPA: [ɡõ]
• (General Australian) IPA: /ɡən.ə/
• 異形同音異義語: gunner (based on the /ˈɡʌn.ə/ pronunciation), goner (based on the /ˈɡɒn.ə/ pronunciation) (non-rhotic)
• 韻: -ʌnə, -ɔnə, -ɒnə

動詞

gonna (auxiliary)

1. (colloquial) A modal used to express a future action that is being planned or prepared for in the present.

   I'm gonna hafta find a new job soon.

   • 1931, Mervyn LeRoy, Little Caesar:

     Well, you ain't got much longer to laugh. I'm coming, and I'm gonna put one in your dirty hide for every lying crack that you made about me, see?

   • 1987, Stock Aitken Waterman, “Never Gonna Give You Up”, in Whenever You Need Somebody, performed by Rick Astley, RCA Records:

     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 very informal. 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 going to is a modal verb indicating a future tense (something that is bound to happen or is planned), and not for lexical uses of "going to" (i.e. the verb go followed by a prepositional phrase beginning with to). Thus, one says  I’m gonna go now, but  I’m gonna the mall is not observed. (In such contexts, I’m going to the mall is said, with going to pronounced more fully, e.g. IPA: [ˈɡoʊɪŋ tə], [ˈɡoʊɪnə].) The same is true of other modal verb contractions such as shoulda, woulda, or coulda (e.g. She shoulda come with us.)
