What languages other than English use contractions?

In addition to the languages the other answerers have mentioned, Portuguese is also filled with contractions.

Many prepositions combine with definite or indefinite articles. For example, if you want to say "from the house" you'd say "da casa" as opposed to "de a casa". The same goes for a phrase like "from a city" (duma cidade). The preposition "por" (meaning "by") also combines with articles quite frequently to become "pelo" and "pela" ("This book is by the author of The War of the Worlds" would be "este livro é pelo autor de 'The War of the Worlds'").

An unusual feature of Portuguese is that infinitives also form contractions with direct objects. For example, when you have a phrase like "in order to find him", the infinitive of the verb (encontrar) contracts with the object (ele) to become "encontrá-lo". This phrase would be "para encontrá-lo" in Portuguese.

Yes, I talk Spanish, English, and French. All three have contractions. One most important change is that even as contractions are not obligatory in English, they're necessary is the others. In French, every time you have got again to again vowels in specific phrases, you need to use a contraction French: Tu As= T'as Spanish: De+El=Del Spainish: A+El= Al

Most if not all languages have contracted forms. People don't like wasting even a millisecond speaking when they don't have to and so they shorten it. However, they're not all going to have contracted forms for the same thing because not all languages work the same way.

Japanese, for example, contracts its verbs. Such as "I need to go" ikanekereba narimasen has (among a few) the contraction of "ikanakucha."

I know in Spanish there is:

"al" = a + el

"del" = de + el

Those both have too many definitions to list depending on how you use them, but the second can be used to denote possession. They are also both mandatory contractions that you must use when those words are next to each other.

Actually, Dutch does, and German.

In Dutch, the word for "the" is "het", and you can contract that to 't, so like "the house" is "het huis" *OR* you can say 't huis.

German also. There are several. "Bei dem" meaning "by the" can be contracted to "beim", just to name one. "out of here" is "heraus" in German, but this is often contracted to 'raus.

Just a few for your reading pleasure.

In Japanese instead of saying

"Ah so desu ka"

(Is that so ?)

You could say " So ka"

in reply instead of saying " so desu yo"

(Yes thats really so)

you could say " So yo "

To show possesion in the Japanses language you would use " no"

"Smith san no uchi desu"

Mr.Smith's house

Italian.

il to l'

l'uomo = the man

l'albero = the tree

and nella and sulla

Oh boy.... good point!

America's language can't be on their own they have to borrow so many different countries' languages.

Yes, French using that but I am not sure about other countries.

Really, America can't do themselves they have to borrow so many other languages.
