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.
