Kay-bin for sure. Never occurred to me to pronounce it the other way

Andjhostet,

I wouldn't trust my kids around someone that pronounces it k'bin

LopensLeftArm,

K’bin sounds like a Klingon name.

I thought in Klingon they pronounced those kind of names like Kay-bin

@Ferk@kbin.social avatar

I don't think Klingon has a K' anywhere, in fact in Klingon it would be written "Q" and followed by some vowel, like in Qapla' or in Qi'yaH

That's still likely a mistransliteration (or maybe because those are proper names), but Klingon has only "q" and "Q" (which depending on the capitalization are pronounced differently, treated as different letters), technically there's no "K" in the Klingon alphabet, you can see it in the pIqaD:

Similar as with the "f" from "Worf", there wouldn't be a straight "non-destructive" way to write it in Klingon.

@Eggyhead@kbin.social avatar

The K has got to be a silent one. This place is 'bin!

Rhaedas,
@Rhaedas@kbin.social avatar

No, the leading forward slash is silent.

Kay-bin, obviously.

@numbscroll@kbin.social avatar

Originally thought cabin but didn’t stick. Kay-bin 100%.

Semmelstulle,
@Semmelstulle@feddit.de avatar

Same here. But I’d not be surprised if we have Cabin for kbin at some point.

Native English speakers rarely realize how similar B and V sounds are virtually everywhere else in the world.

Gordon_Freeman,
@Gordon_Freeman@kbin.social avatar

In Spanish they are not similar, but both letters represent the same sound, literally.

BloodSlut,

Who the fuck says k’bin?

Shurimal,

I pronounce it "kibin"🙃

SuburbanHaikuist,
@SuburbanHaikuist@kbin.social avatar

K'bin sounds more like I'm answering a k'nock at the door but with a cold.

fiat_lux,

Kay-bin. Mostly because when I first saw the name I assumed it was a KDE package.
