The "DA" thing.
Hi guys,
could someone please explain me using of "da" like in "da best" or "on da net". It's "the", isnt it? I know this must be really slang thing, but I still want to know. Who usually use this? Teens? Is it very very very informal? How does this sound to you? (And by the way how is it pronounced?)
Let the sun always shine on you,
KH.
