This is way too nebulous of a thread start. If you have some *specific* class of words (adjectives, etc.) or some *specific* types of conversations, please start a new thread. This one will stay closed.fxdung said:Can we omit some words in conversation? And when and what words we can omit?
Yes, it is common for people to omit words in colloquial conversation for the sake of brevity and ease of communication.
In formal writing and speech, it is important to use proper grammar and complete sentences. However, in colloquial conversation, it is acceptable to omit words as long as the meaning is still clear.
Some examples include articles (a, an, the), auxiliary verbs (is, are, have), and pronouns (I, you, he/she/they).
In certain formal settings, such as a job interview or a presentation, it is best to use complete sentences and avoid omitting words. It is also important to consider the context and the level of formality when deciding whether to omit words in conversation.
Omitting words can sometimes lead to misunderstandings or confusion, especially if the listener is not familiar with the speaker's dialect or speech patterns. It is important to be mindful of the audience and use clear and concise language to ensure effective communication.
