what does "gonna" mean

Question

I am gonna

Answer 1

Hope this helps. Gonna is "slang" (truly casual or bad English) for "going to". Example: I'm gonna eat now. I am (or I'm) "going to" eat now. Wanna = want to. Ex. I want to eat now.

Answer 2

I am going to. It is what they call "badly spoken" English.

Do you wanna see this? That should be written and spoken: Do you want to see this?

Answer 3

A good explanation has been given above. "Gonna" is often used in texting and chatting on the computer, but it is not good to use it in formal writing and would definitely not be acceptable in an English exam.

Answer 4

It is how I speak all the time, probably why I have difficulty pronouncing the spanish vowels.

Answer 8

Although it is slang it is very widely used and should be learned in order to understand natural speech patterns in daily use. Gonna, wanna, shoulda, aint, fixinta, caint, fosho, these are all heard on a daily basis and are in wide circulation.
