| Aug 7, 2015 at 7:13 | comment | added | Em1 | Nope, there isn't. But you can contract the verb with a following object "es", e.g. "Ich bin's gewesen", "Er ist's leid", "Sie hat's gesehen", "Wir werden's machen", "Ihr wollt's doch auch". | |
| Aug 7, 2015 at 7:09 | comment | added | Wrzlprmft♦ | Welcome to German Language SE. Can you please specify whether you are looking for 1) a translation of I’m that preserves the informality 2) phenomena of the German language that have an impact on formality equivalent to the difference between “I am” and “I’m”? | |
