But I'll also avoid "D'you" in that case (maybe that's just me, I don't feel comfortable enough with it yet). I'm saying if you are in a conversation so casual that you can use "gonna", you can also use "D''you", but the opposite is not necessarily true. | |

Many English speakers when speaking fast say D'you in perfectly formed sentences and not necessarily with wanna or gonna. | |
