Qual é a forma correta de se utilizar o "kinda"?
Por exemplo:
"Kinda a big idea" ou "Kinda big idea" ?
Por exemplo:
"Kinda a big idea" ou "Kinda big idea" ?
It's kinda big. (not kinda a big), because it means "kind of big idea".
Reversing it you see better why is that so: it's big, kind of. (no kind of 'a').
Reversing it you see better why is that so: it's big, kind of. (no kind of 'a').
Nesse caso a contração nao se encaixa porque soa estranho por causa do "a" que vem depois, tem que usar o of normalmente
That's kind of a great idea. (Isso é meio que uma ótima idéia)
Funciona em contextos onde você quer dizer meio/mais ou menos.
He's kind of/kinda boring (ele é meio chato)
-Can you play football? Kind of. (Sabe jogar futebol? Mais ou menos.)
Wheredja, whadja, howdja, is closer to how they are typically pronounced, but when written the forms are most often:
Where'd ya / where d'ya
What'd ya / what d'ya / whatcha
How'd ya / how d'ya
You will see these written in books or articles where they are reporting the accent/dialect of the speaker accurately.
