I have been reading things, hearing the lyrics of songs and I find it word (Watcha)
I was search in google what is it and I find that is a contraction of :
What are you going to do tomorrow?: Watcha going to do tomorrow?
What do you want to do? :Watcha want to do?
Is it correct?, could someone say how I must use it?
(I would like that somebody correct me if I make some mistake) ty :)
It's not even a word. It's how some people mumble as they speak.
If you read what native English speakers write here, you'll see that none of us uses "watcha", or any of the other sloppy words that learners think are "real English". If you want to sound like a native speaker, then use the language normally.
As a native it is informal speech. Watcha doing?= What are you doing?
Sometimes when I talk I say "Watchu doin?"
Even I text that but only to family and friends.
Best to say the whole word out and understand the English language properly before using slang.
It's short for "What are you..."
I think when I use it, it comes out more as "Whatchu(oo)"....as in "What you doing?"
Whatcha is more like "What ya doing?" which has a more playful and childlike sense to it. I would say "ya" instead of you....when I'm being more playful or speaking to my daughter, or being cute with my boyfriend. Maybe it's just me.
I wouldn't make a point to force the usage....it kind of comes just from shortening and slurring words together. No one would consider it part of their vocabulary.
"What are you doing?" is far more common....and perfectly fine.
It's really informal, I think you're better off just using the full version. Maybe try to understand it in case other people say it (like in songs), but I think it's hard to go wrong with just using the full versions, at least until you develop a feeling for when it's used.
