Slang
What does "to finna" mean in Southern US slang?
The structure is a contraction of "fixing to," where "fixing" is shortened to "fin" and combined with "to" to form "finna," dropping the middle sounds for faster speech. It is used in the Southern United States (and African American Vernacular English nationwide) to mean being about to do something, similar to "going to" or "preparing to." People typically say "I'm finna go to the store" or "She finna cook dinner."
Examples
I'm finna head out soon.
