Definitions and meaning of gonna

gonna

Alternative forms

  • gon, gon'
  • gunna, gonner, gunner
  • gna (Internet slang)

Etymology

Written form of a reduction of going to. Attested since 1917. The pronunciation of present participles with the sound n rather than ng has a long history (see g-dropping on Wikipedia).

Pronunciation

  • (unstressed) IPA(key): /ɡən.ə/
  • (stressed) IPA(key): /ˈɡʌn.ə/, /ˈɡɔn.ə/, /ˈɡɒn.ə/
  • The final schwa does not trigger linking-R in accents where it usually would (most non-rhotic accents). Instead there is hiatus, a glottal stop, or the final vowel is pronounced /-uː/.
  • Rhymes: -ʌnə, -ɔnə, -ɒnə, -ənə
  • Homophones: gunner (non-rhotic accents), goner (non-rhotic accents)

Contraction

gonna

  1. (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 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(key): [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 but not *She shoulda some patience).
