Help[Opinions] Re: Amina
in reply to a message by Tieliebirds
I don't like either pronunciation, but isn't uh-MEE-nuh the correct one? The name just looks and sounds too medical for me, maybe because it reminds me of "amino"?

Hi there! Both pronunciations are correct. In Arabic, the two pronunciations are spelled differently, but that language has more letters and when translated into English, the two pronunciations are spelled the same. Does that make sense? So, pretending English is Arabic, it would kind of be like in Arabic they're spelled Amnah (AMM--inn-uh) and Ameena (uh-MEE-nuh). But not in English. Does that make sense?
