Common Mispronunciations of Hind
Not HIND with a short i
Lengthen it into the eye of mind. Words ending in ind after a single consonant usually stretch that way: find, kind, blind.
Not HYN
Sound the final d. Without it the word becomes hine, which means nothing here.
Tip: Hindsight and behind keep the same long vowel, but hinder and hindrance shorten it back to the i of tin.
