i need at least five blended words and five clipped words..
thanks in advance!! =D
Answers:
Lots of blended words at the first site:
Motel (motor hotel)
Brunch (breakfast and lunch)
Travelogue (travel & monologue)
Guesstimate (guess & estimate)
Motorcade (motor & calvacade)
Here are some clipped words:
pantspantaloons
moviemoving picture
prompromenade
chemistalchemist
FYI, internet means inter(connected)-(computer)net... not really international networking.
Blended words:
going to = gonna, want to = wanna, am not - aint,
want to be = wannabe, I am a = Ima
' Clipped' words are difficult to spell as they involve the swallowing of a final consonant, more often than not the letter 't' . Substitute the symbol ' - ' for an unpronounced 't' and you have:
get = ge-, want = wan-, great = grea- . A couple which do not involve ' t ' are :
and = an ( "an I said to him") you = yuh
You have a tricky topic. If you want more, now that you know what you are looking for, just listen to people speaking informally; you will spot them. Good luck.
