    I got to tell you isn't English. We say: "I've got to tell you." It is a colloquial equivalent of: "I have to tell you."

    Buzz off! Shoo! Whatever looser! Why don't you go play with yourself and leave me alone? Back off Jack... Be gone! Why don't you make like a tree and leave? (I think I said that right! LOL) Scoot! Talk to the hand, cause my ears ain't listening! Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya! Take a hike! Get outa my face, jerkweed... What? Still here? I figure you would have got the point by now... Um...Why don't you go do something useful? You know, like kill yourself? Why don't you talk a flying leap at a rolling doughnut? Kiss off jerk! Beat it! Scram! (or Amscray in Pig Latin LOL!) Why don't you make like a Bannana and split? Do the words, "Get the Hell away from me!" mean anything to you? Sod off! (English)

  • Though colloquially they both mean the same "i got to tell you" is improper english.

    depends on the context.

    i got to tell you can mean, i had the privilege of telling you, or something along those lines.

    it can also be short for i've got to tell you, or i have to tell you, which means that person needs to say something important.

    The proper way to say it is "I've got to tell you" but we American's leave out the "ve" in "I've" and just say "I gotta tell yahz"..oh wait that's New York. I mean "I got to tell you." :-P

    So yes, "I got to tell you", which means "I've got to tell you" which is similar to "I have to tell you"

    Only if you want to use bad grammar. "I have to tell you is the correct expression¨"
