1. I'm goin' to Lousiana my true for to see. [From Oh, Susanna]
----------------------------------------------------------------
Why do you use goin'? To show the omission of 'g'? Do you not pronounce the ng sound? Instead, do you pronounce the n sound?
This is from a song that reflects a regional dialect. That answers to all your questions are ‘yes.’
The answers ...
The use of "goin'" in the sentence is an example of a contraction where the letter "g" is omitted. This is a common feature in informal spoken English known as "dropping the g". In this case, the full form would be "going" but when speaking casually or in certain dialects, the "g" sound is not pronounced. Instead, the "n" sound is emphasized, so it would be pronounced as "goin'" with a nasal "n" sound at the end.
To better understand how contractions work and when they are commonly used, you can study the rules of English contractions and practice listening to native speakers using them in conversations. Immersion in spoken English, watching movies or TV shows, and listening to songs can also help you familiarize yourself with the different ways English is spoken in different contexts and regions.
