How to pronounce "cine"

<p>What is the correct pronunciation of the word "cine". You know, moving picture lenses are called cine lenses. How do you say "cine" Is it "sign"? Is it sin-ah? or sin-ee??? or ??? TIA</p>

<p>sin-uh-fuh-tog-ruh-fer</p>

Sin Ee is how we say it Vancouver

<p>It's either said "sine" or "ky-nuh", never two syllables with an "s"</p>

<p>"sin"</p>

<p>Sim. to Alan: "sinotografy".</p>

Lol. The first syllable in cinema

<p>Just think "cinema," and then leave off the "ma." Sin-neh. </p>

<p>Hmmm...it's seems we have consensus.; nobody really knows! :)</p>

<p><em>Some</em> of us do!<br /><br />Cinematography -> Cinema -> Cine.<br /><br />Nobody pronounces the first syllable of that first word with a hard C (like a K) or with a long I ("eye"), and nobody pronounces the second syllable of the long word with an "eee," but rather with ah "eh." And the shortened form, used as an adjective ("cine lens") is just those same first two syllables, as-is, without the remaining ones. There!</p>

Apparently, I'm the only one with a dictionary. North America's most widely used dictionary has an on-line version with an audio file.

The word begins like sin and ends like many.

<p>Seems like we have two possibilities.<br>

Sin-eh and sin-ee. I'm happy with those! Thanks everyone who participated. Chris</p>

 

The third, and correct possibility, is pronounced "sin".
