ya

[Anonymous]

what's the correct way to use " ya" ?
is it only used in colloquial language?
can I write "YA" on a letter or something?

thanks

It's only used informally. I wouldn't use it in a letter.

It's common in emails and text messages to save time, but would only be suitable in a very informal letter. I would never use it in any form of formal correspondence. ;-)
