Great observation about these reductions! Here’s the answer: while "I'm going to" can reduce to "I'ma" or "Ima", reducing "I want to" to just "I wa" isn’t natural in English. Let me explain why:
1. Why "I'm going to" can become "I'ma/Ima":
In "I'm going to," the word "going" loses its full pronunciation, and "to" reduces to just "a."
This reduction happens because "going to" is often followed by an action verb (e.g., I'ma go), and the rhythm naturally simplifies in spoken English.
2. Why "I want to" doesn’t reduce to "I wa":
In "I want to," the phrase usually reduces to "I wanna", but it doesn’t go further to "I wa" because:
The "n" sound in "want" ties the words together, and dropping it entirely makes the phrase unclear.
Without "nna" or some equivalent sound, "I wa" feels incomplete and ambiguous, as it doesn’t signal "to" or the upcoming verb clearly.
3. What happens in fast speech?
While "I want to" never shortens to "I wa," in very fast or casual speech, it might sound like "I wa'na" or "I wa' be" (e.g., I want to be). But the "wa" part still connects to the "nna" or "tna" sound for clarity.
4. Comparison:
Phrase Common Reductions Explanation
"I'm going to" "I'ma/Ima" Naturally simplifies to one fluid sound.
"I want to" "I wanna" Simplifies, but keeps "nna" for clarity.
"I wa" Not natural Feels incomplete and unclear in context.
Conclusion:
While "I'ma/Ima" works for "I'm going to," reducing "I want to" to "I wa" doesn’t work in natural spoken English. Instead, stick with "I wanna", as it maintains both clarity and flow.
