GONNA

Etymology

Contraction

gonna

(colloquial, with bare infinitive) Contraction of going to when followed by an infinitive verb: used to express a future action.

Usage notes

• 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 or 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.”)
