Hi,
We know the short form of "That will" is "That'll".
Now I wonder whether "This'll" exists or not. Rolling Eyes
Thanks,

I asked Mr. Google, he usually knows these things.

But in this case I came only up with one hit, telling me that "this'll" is the lazy man's way of writing "this will".

So I assume that in the actual language it doesn't really exist.

Although usually if you can use this, you can also use that.

That'll do for me.
This'll do for you.

That'll be your bed.
This'll be mine.

That'll be our train / bus / taxi.
This'll be our train / bus / taxi.

I've heard them all used frequently.
