Common Mispronunciations of Engine
Not en-JYN
Engine and engineer part company at the second syllable. Engine ends in a weak juhn; only engineer stretches that part out.
Not EN-geen
A g before e goes soft in English, so this is the j of jam. The hard g of get belongs to a different set of words.
Tip: Two syllables: EN-juhn. The ending has no more weight than the one in cabin.
