What is colloquial language? - Colloquial language is the casual language ordinary people use in everyday conversations. It’s informal and conversational. It’s “What do you wanna do?” versus “What do you want to do?” It’s the natural language you hear when native speakers are having conversations with each other. And colloquial language — with its regional differences — is the reason you can visit Birmingham and hear different phrases from those you hear in Manchester. People in Birmingham and Manchester speak the same language but use their own, local colloquial expressions., Relaxed grammar - Compared to formal or standard English, colloquial language has more relaxed grammar rules. People use sentence fragments (incomplete sentences or thoughts), contractions, and short forms., Local variations - examples - To make things even more complicated, colloquial language varies by region — even within the same country. Let’s take the UK for example. For such a small country, there is a huge variety of colloquial expressions. Here are some ways people say ‘very good’ in different parts of the UK. Remember these all mean exactly the same things.,
