Interesting English abbreviations. Abbreviations in English

Hello! In informal communication over the Internet, we often use various kinds of abbreviations to speed up the process of information exchange. For example, instead of “Thank you,” we write “ATP”; instead of “Please” and “Not at all” - “pzh” and “nz”; instead of “now” - just “schA”. In English correspondence with short sms messages also have their own abbreviations, which we will talk about today. Abbreviations in English

Abbreviations are used not from illiteracy, but to save time and quickly convey their thoughts, not forgetting the most important thing. With live communication, we can easily express a large amount of information without spending a few seconds. When correspondence on the Internet, to express, even a short thought will have to spend a minute, or even more. As a result, all the ideas that I wanted to cover are often forgotten. In this case, various reductions come to the rescue.

Many acronyms are already firmly entrenched in our speech, and we sometimes pronounce some words without even suspecting that they are acronyms, that is, abbreviations that have become independent words in our language.

One of the most popular Internet acronyms, today is the abbreviation "IMHO". Few people know that this is a tracing-paper of the English abbreviation “IMHO”, which stands for “In My Humble Opinion” - “According to My Humble Opinion”, that is, on a Russo this abbreviation should look like “PMSM”.

Most popular abbreviations in English

The functionality and convenience of the Internet are actively used to learn English, including for correspondence and communication with native speakers in forums and chat rooms. But if you are new to the English-language forum, then it will be difficult for you to understand what its participants are talking about, as they very often use abbreviations when writing sms on the Internet in English.   English abbreviations

To make it easier for you to navigate in the English chat, but to find, organize and decrypt the most popular sms abbreviations. I divided acronyms into correspondence into several groups:

The first group belongs to the category   “As I hear, so I write”:

• u \u003d you
• ur \u003d your (you)
• cu \u003d cya \u003d see you (see you)
• k \u003d ok (ok, agreed)
• y \u003d why (why)

• Any1 \u003d anyone
• gr8 \u003d great
• 4u \u003d for you
• u2 \u003d you too (you too, you too)

The third group - the most popular colloquial phrases in English, which when corresponded on the Internet and sms are written as abbreviations:

• np \u003d no problem (no problem)
• gf \u003d girlfriend
• tc \u003d take care
• bb \u003d bye bye (bye, see you soon)
• omg \u003d oh my god (Oh my god)

Of course, these are not all abbreviations in the English language. To make it easier for you to learn or decrypt them in the chat, I created a special table that you can download, print and hang in a prominent place.

Table "English abbreviations"

Many abbreviations and acronyms of communication in The Internet has switched to real communication in English, so it will be useful to know them. For example, the words "gonna" and "wanna", which are often used in ordinary speech, in the full version sound like "going to" and "want to". But they are already firmly entrenched in the English language in a compressed form.

English is developing, and slang is evolving especially quickly - bright, apt, sensitive to the changes in our lives. In order to speed up the exchange of text messages, ingenious gadget owners and regular Internet chat have come up with their own slang, the most popular words from which we will learn today. And this is necessary: \u200b\u200ba person studying English must know these short and witty cuts, because they have already become part of the culture of English-speaking countries.

If you don’t have anyone to exchange English-language SMSs with, these interesting acronyms will come in handy when communicating via Skype, in other online chats - even with ordinary electronic correspondence. Finally, you will understand what your English-speaking colleague had in mind when he wrote you: BRB, B2W, CUL8R ...

Most of these acronyms were created due to the consonance of some words with numbers and letters of the alphabet:

C - see(verb to see,   "see")

R - are(verb to be,"To be" in 2 liters. units hours)

U - you("you")

2 - two("two"), to(the preposition "in", "on"), too("too")

4 - four, for(4U - “for you”)

8 - ate   (verb to eat,"In" in Past Simple)

ASAP - as soon as possible

You probably already know this abbreviation: it is often used in a working environment when writing reminders ( memos) It means as soon as possible   (“As soon as possible” or “the sooner the better”). This is a very popular acronym understood by everyone.

PLS, PLZ - Please

The main "magic" word: "please."

IOU - I owe you

Another common and very useful shortcut. Spell: I [ʌɪ] + O [əʊ] + U. What does this remind us of? Phrase sounds exactly the same I owe you   (“I owe you (a)”) - your interlocutor thanks you for your courtesy and promises to answer the same.

THX - Thanks

And now, thank you. And also abbreviated.

LOL - Laugh out loud!

“I laugh out loud!” - your counterpart is ridiculously ridiculous. Laugh out loud \u003d I laugh out loud.

So often exclaim young impressionable girls: OMG! It’s Justin Bieber!   ("Lord! This is Justin Bieber!")

BRB - Be right back

And here you are again at the workplace and report this to the interlocutor. Back to work \u003d I’m back to work.

And the interlocutor wants to ask you a question:

? 4U - Question for you

Question for you \u003d I have a question for you.

And you can answer by starting with the catch phrase “In my humble opinion”:

IMHO - In my humble opinion

(humblemeans "humble")

Or, if you do not know the answer, write:

IDK - I don’t know

If the interlocutor is your old friend, and you want to play a little trick, the not quite censored, but rather popular answer will do:

WTF? - What the f ** k?

You can use one of the following "formulas":

CUL8R - See you later

The formula is C + U + L + eight + R \u003d see + you + later (by the way, how are you doing with math?), In Russian: "See you later." See you later \u003d I’ll see you later.

A contraction is two or even three words combined into one shortened word, and some letters are thrown away. An apostrophe is placed on the letter instead of the discarded letters. In English, abbreviations are used very often, mainly in colloquial speech. Auxiliary verbs and the negative particle not are mainly reduced, since in the sentence they are unstressed. In addition, there are many abbreviations with modal verbs.

Consider the main abbreviations of the English language:

Abbreviation	Pronounced	Full form
		I had, I would, I should
		you had, you would
		he had, he would
		she had; she would
		we had, we should, we would
		they had; they would
	[ðɛəz], [ðəz]	there is, there has
		there had, there would
	AM kæ̱nt]

Abbreviations are verb   (when the verb itself is shortened) and negative   (in which the particle is not reduced).

Some negative contractions can take two forms:

he had not \u003d he "d not \u003d he hadn" t
   she will not \u003d she’ll not \u003d she won’t
   it is not \u003d it’s not \u003d it isn’t

Acronyms with n "t   (hadn "t, won" t) are more typical of English. The exception is the verb is, because in the British version of English, both variants are valid. American English uses forms with not: she "s not.

In separation matters, am not has the abbreviation aren "t I:

I am in your team, aren’t I? “I'm on your team, right?”

Note the difference in pronunciation: can "t: British English in American English.

Some abbreviations may mean different verbs, for example abbreviation’s can mean both is and has. How to distinguish? Distinguished by context. After is, either a verb ending with ing is used, or an adjective or noun:

He’s waiting for you. “He's waiting for you.”
   She’s a student. - She is a student.
   It’s beautiful. - It's fine.

After has, the verb in the third form should go:

He’s got a new car. - He has a new car.
   She’s been to the USA. - She was in the USA.

The abbreviation "d can" hide "had, would, should. After had, we use the third form of the verb:

Sometimes shorthand is used for the had better construct:

You’d better go home now. “You better go home now.”

Following would often be like to:

I’d like to have a cup of tea. “I would like a cup of tea.”

C should usually use a verb in the first form without the particle to (council expression):

You "d go and apologize. - You should go and apologize.

Do not confuse it’s abbreviated form and its possessive adjective.

Ain’t - slang abbreviation for am not, are not, is not, have not, has not. It can be found in films, songs and colloquial speech.

The use of abbreviations in the letter.

The use of abbreviated forms in a letter is determined by the nature of the letter. Abbreviations should be avoided in official documents, formal correspondence, scientific papers, but in informal letters, blogs, articles, the use of abbreviations is allowed and even encouraged. Abbreviations give a more informal and light tone, and full forms, in turn, indicate seriousness and formality. Before using acronyms in writing, think about the nature, purpose, and addressee of your letter.

When using abbreviated forms in writing, several rules should be remembered.

The short form ‘s (is, has) can be used in letters with personal pronouns, nouns, interrogative words, the words there) and (now’s):

He "s my brother. - He is my brother.
   Tom’s sleeping. - Tom is sleeping.
   Where’s he? What’s he doing? - Where is he? What is he doing?
   There’s a car in the garage. - There is a car in the garage.
   Here’s a lot of people. - There are many people here.
   Now’s the time to go. “Now is the time to go.”

Short forms ‘ll (will),‘ d (had, should, would) and ‘re (are) are used in writing after the pronouns and the word there, but in other cases full forms are written, even if the abbreviations are pronounced:

They’re watching TV. The children are watching TV.
   She’d like to go out. Mary would like to go out.
   He’d eat healthy food. My father should eat healthy food.

Abbreviations are an important element of spoken English. Sometimes it is difficult to understand the speech of native speakers when they speak very quickly, so it is important to develop listening skills, and if you want to improve spoken English, our teachers will help you with this. Good luck in learning English!

- Mark, what does IDK, LY & TTYL mean?
  - I don’t know, love you, talk to you later
  - Ok, I’ll ask your sister. Love you too.

Mark, what does IDK, LY and TTYL mean?

  - Mom, what do you think WTF means?
  - Well That’s Fantastic

Got the top five in Chemistry!
  - WTF, great job, Mark!
