ся

See also: сѧ, са, -ся, and -са

Bulgarian

Adverb

ся • (sja)

1. Alternative spelling of с'я (s'ja)

Usage notes

Spelling contracted words without the apostrophe is non-standard, but is actually the more common way to spell them colloquially, especially so on the internet. Since с'я is itself colloquial, it is rare to see it written with an apostrophe.
