Abbreviations in Japanese

In everyday conversation among peers, especially in the conversations of young people (wakamono) sometimes we find a lot of slang abbreviations. For that, get to know some of the abbreviations are very important to understand the content of their conversation, as in the dorama, dorama, anime, comics and conversations in real environments. Well, here are some frequently used abbreviations that I happened to know.
~ TTE is a shortened form of 'to / to iu / to iu Nowa' meaning 'is called, or called to say'.
Example:
Sou da ne, Paijo TTE yatsu omae wa ka! / Paijo yatsu wa omae to iu ka!
(O.. So the name Paijo loe it!)
Kinjo no ka kara yobareteru Nanto, shitte ru no ka? Asoko no ie no okosan wa, yo Warui TTE.
(You know, you referred to what the neighbors? He said there was a family boy, naughty.)
~ Cha is a shortened form of 'Tewa' which is a form continued to express necessity or ketidakbolehan.
Example:
Katankucha ikenai n da. / Katankutewa ikenai.
(I must win!)
Nigecha dame! / Nigetewa dame! / Nigetewa ikenai!
(Do not run!)
~ Kya stands Tewa same as ~ cha, it's just the difference if ~ kya without included ikenai / dame has shown the necessity or ketidakbolehan, while for ~ cha would include them.
Example:
Shigoto o sagasu nara machi de ikanakya. / Shigoto o sagasu nara machi de ikanakutewa ikemasen.
(If you want to look for work, you must go to town.)
Vocabulary:
Omae: loe (very rough, usually aimed at men)
Nigeru: run
Kinjo: neighbor
Kara: from
Shirimasu: know
Asoko: there next to it
Ie: home
Okosan: family
Warui: bad, bad, bad, naughty
Shigoto: jobs
Sagasu: search
Nara: if, if
Machi: city
Iku: go
God, kyou wa koko made.
(If so, today's pretty up here.)
Ja ne eye. . .
(Bye)
