you + all = y'all. Example: "How're y'all doin' durin' the lockdown?"
Word of the Day #2
are + not = ain't. Example: "We ain't likin' it one bit."
Word of the Day #3
y'all + ain't = yain't. Example: "Yain't seen nothing yet!"Two words are made into one. Two more words are made into one. Then THOSE two words are made into a third word. That's one way we make new words. By the way, the apostrophe is in the wrong place in the word "y'all" in the illustration, and some online sources spell the last word "y'ain't" with TWO apostrophes. Maybe it's still a work in process. (Click the blue link to see how that's different from a work in progress.)
