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.
tips fedora "k'bin"
(I say kaybin)
M'k'bin
k'binst'd've
southern accent
Hey y'all, we're headin' down 'er to m'k'bin on the bayou this weeken' if ya wanna tagalong
Kay-bin for sure. Never occurred to me to pronounce it the other way
K'bin sounds more like I'm answering a k'nock at the door but with a cold.
Kay-bin.
I wouldn't trust my kids around someone that pronounces it k'bin
K'bin sounds like a Klingon name.
I thought in Klingon they pronounced those kind of names like Kay-bin
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
Who the fuck says k'bin?
Kay-bin. Mostly because when I first saw the name I assumed it was a KDE package.
The K has got to be a silent one. This place is 'bin!
No, the leading forward slash is silent.
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".
I pronounce it "kibin"🙃
Non-native speaker here. I get kay-bin, but how are you supposed to say k'bin?
like "book bin" but without the "boo"
Kuh-bin, with the first syllable short and emphasis on the second.
like kah-bin
i do kih bin. kih rhyming with like "fi" in fill or "pi" in pill
In spanish you are likely to default to k'bin (cabin).
Letter K pronunciation varies across the globe, so I think everyone will have variations of it.
Kibin
same here, i didnt know i was in the minority on this one lol
When I refer to the threadiverse in general (including “I saw a post on on…”) I just say lemmy. I actually really dislike the name “kbin”.
No sense in explaining it tho, cuz if you don’t get it, you won’t get it.
Interesting. For some reason kbin sounds better than lemmy to me, but don't super love either.
Both are still better than “beehaw”
I say “Kay-bee”; the n is silent
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.
"Cabin" with a strong emphasis on the first syllable seems hillarious though.
Same, k-anything has just been beaten into my brain as "oh a KDE app!"
Rhymes with gaben
Okay so I'm not crazy! Thought so
I say kay-bin, but for a third option: cabin
What about "quou-been"?
kih-bin
Vulcan says "k'bin".
kevin like in "Kevin Bacon"
Native English speakers rarely realize how similar B and V sounds are virtually everywhere else in the world.
In Spanish they are not similar, but both letters represent the same sound, literally.
I pronounce it, 'Freedom'.
