Short form for 'this is'

[iamtime]

Hi,

I have come across the short form for 'this is' when you use it in a conversation but I can't remember it!

Is it - t's or t'is?

Thanks!

Hi,

Are you sure you don't mean the short form of 'it is' which would be 'tis. I've never heard of a short form for 'this is'.

'tis is very old-fashioned. We use only it's now.

I agree.
I had a Yorkshire verbal dialect use in mind at the time I wrote.
