This is probably what you are looking for....I see "para" (the preposition) abbreviated this way all the time. - Izanoni1, Jan 21, 2010
English sort of does a similar with shortening "for" with the pronunciation of "fer" as a preposition. - Luciente, Jan 21, 2010

Cheeseisyumm has it right. "Pa" is lazy Spanish for "Para." IE: "Ven pa ca" ("Ven para acá," which really should be "Ven por acá"). Slang has no grammatical limits.

Hola Laurena y bienvenido al foro de SpanishDict

Me he fijado en lo que has escrito dos oraciones diferentes:

como se dice ' pa' ' en ingles - Titulo del hilo

como se dice ' paz' ' en ingles

Corrigeme si estoy equivocado pero pienso que estás buscando la palabra "paz." En inglés esta palabra quiere decir 'peace'. Aquí está un enlace a la página del diccionario: Paz

Pero si estás buscando la palabra "pa" entonces pienso que cheeseisyumm ha explicadolo bien y es una apócope de la palabra 'para' que en inglés por muchas veces quiere decir for o in order to (depende del contexto) Aquí está un enlace a la página del diccionario: Para

yeah you have two options and both are to cut the word in order to do them informal and easy to speak kind of slang:

1 pa might be to describe dad we use: padre, papa, papi, papito, papacito, pa'

2 pa might be for but in short and obviously no formal at all : instead to say para ti you would say : pa ti

If it is not in the dictionary it probably isn't a word it might be slang or a shortened word and sometimes when a word is not in the dictionary it is a congugation of a verb but I can't think of any verb that would have pa as a congugation-

Are you referring to "Pa" as a short name for "Papa" or "Poppa" meaning "Dad" or "Daddy" (familiar names for "Father")? If not, please use the word in a sentence so we can help you better.
