Contractions in やんなっちゃう


A person is comparing herself to some disreputable school mates, thinking that
she might be similar to them, and says:

> やんなっちゃうなぁ

Is this a contraction of (い)やになっちゃうなぁ meaning "I ended up becoming
unlikeable"?

I'm coming across more and more of these contractions as I read more, and they
keep tripping me up. Are there any general rules I should know that will help
me figure this stuff out on my own?




Yes, やんなっちゃう is short for いやになっちゃう, which is short for いやになってしまう.

いやになる is a fixed phrase meaning "to be fed up / sick / disgusted". So
やんなっちゃうなあ is something like "Now I'm starting to feel disgusted", "I can't
help being sick".
