Iโ€™ve gotten a few questions recently about the word โ€˜areโ€™. Specifically someone recently

That is not grammatically correct, and a native speaker would not say โ€œWhat you doing?โ€

However, a native speaker may reduce the word โ€˜areโ€™ so much that a non-native speaker

The word โ€˜areโ€™ is often shortened in writing as well, as a contraction with โ€˜youโ€™,

โ€˜weโ€™, or โ€˜theyโ€™. Theyโ€™re, for example. But it doesnโ€™t have to be written as a contraction
