Kay-bin, obviously.

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

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

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

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

stopthatgirl7,
@stopthatgirl7@kbin.social avatar

Kay-bin.

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, (edited )
@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:

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:KLI_pIqaD.svg

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

BloodSlut,

Who the fuck says k’bin?

@Angry_Maple@sh.itjust.works avatar

I say kay-bin, because it kind of looks like it should sound like that, imo.

K’bin feels like I’m just trying to make the word as short as possible.

Cabin or Ki-bin both feel like I’m adding new letters just because. To me, it would be like calling reddit “reddita” or “reedit”.

Kay-bin seems like the only correct way. Cabin or K'bin just feels wrong for no particular reason. The name honestly just makes me think of KDE.

Peruvian_Skies,
@Peruvian_Skies@kbin.social avatar

"Cabin" with a strong emphasis on the first syllable seems hillarious though.

WorseDoughnut,
@WorseDoughnut@kbin.social avatar

Same, k-anything has just been beaten into my brain as "oh a KDE app!"

fiat_lux,

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

Kibin

minnieo,
@minnieo@kbin.social avatar

Shurimal,

Eggyhead,
@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.

Cloudless,
@Cloudless@kbin.social avatar

Non-native speaker here. I get kay-bin, but how are you supposed to say k'bin?

toasteranimation,
@toasteranimation@lemmy.world avatar

like kah-bin

minnieo,
@minnieo@kbin.social avatar

i do kih bin. kih rhyming with like "fi" in fill or "pi" in pill

jon,
@jon@kbin.social avatar

Kuh-bin, with the first syllable short and emphasis on the second.

scribs,
@scribs@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

fartsinger,

Rhymes with gaben
