Can we say "why you're laughing ?" in English Slang?

Question

Can we make questions as in "why you're laughing ?" instead of "why are you laughing ?"
by reversing the subject and verb to be in slang English ?
and if so , is it British or American ?

Answer 1

No, that is not correct grammar and does not make sense..

Answer 2

If you want to shorten the question and make it seem slang it will be better to ask "why're you laughing" by merging why and are instead of merging you with are. Slang seems a better way to talk to friends but try keeping your grammar basics intact while trying to speak slang too.

Answer 3

No, that's not proper English or slang. You could say "Tell me why you're laughing", but "Why you're laughing?" is not a complete sentence.

Answer 4

Why're you laughing?

Why you's laughing? Slang.



I think the trouble with 'hearing' is that you can't see exactly what is being said. If someone talks quickly the words may be blurred so sound wrong.



''How're you doing?''

''Where're you going?''

Answer 5

Ive never heard anyone say it and it doesnt really sound right if your trying to ask someone why they are laughing. unless you say it like this "can you tell me why you're laughing" then yeah sure but it still sounds a tad strange

Answer 6

theres no such slang word.. what part of england is your friend from? it can be different.. x

Answer 7

You can say "what are you laughing at?"

Answer 8

Actually, you can say it the way you want. However, the spelling may count.
