Contracted Form

Contracted Form
A contracted form is a grammatical term. It refers to short words made by putting two words together and omitting some letters, which are replaced by an apostrophe.

संक्षिप्त रूपे दोन शब्द जोडण्याकरिता त्यातील एखादे अक्षर किंवा काही अक्षरे गळलेली आहेत, हे दर्शविण्याकरिता Apostrophe (') चा उपयोग करतात.

The contracted form is typically used during informal speaking. It shortens speech by dropping one or more letters and uses an apostrophe to replace it. A contracted form is not slang, but it’s used in daily language to give off a friendly tone when speaking or writing
